Alex Wright grew up singing and playing music with his family in eastern Kentucky. He started performing in churches at the age of 4 and continued to play music with friends and family into his teens in Appalachia. He learned to harmonize with anyone and to appreciate the simple joy of playing music around a table. From this early musical experience, he developed a lifelong love and appreciation of many musical genres, from bluegrass to rock to opera. He began writing music in high school with his first band and continued through the tough years of his postgraduate education, when his ability to perform music was limited. He moved to New York City in 2001. The long subway rides gave him the time to think about music again and he began honing and performing songs privately for friends and family.

A move to Louisville Kentucky in 2009 gave him chance meeting with Dewey Kincade, a Louisville born singer songwriter, pointed him in the direction of C.B Sound studio in Goshen, KY where he recorded his debut album "Feeling the Pull", released in early 2012. Since then Alex has worked with Dewey Kincade in the Navigators and is currently working on his second studio album with a new band project with drummer Glen Howerton in The Maven Down. The album is slated to release in early 2013.
