Putting Rock 'n' Roll into Folk

HOME

Hey there, I’m Ludwig Wright. Thank you for joining me here on my website. It’s my little home in the internet, which I use to showcase my music. Have a look around and let me know if I somehow can be of help.

The film “The Blues Brothers” accompanied me throughout my childhood. It’s about two brothers, who want to put on a show to save the orphanage in which they grew up in. For that they bring their old band back together. The performances, the songs, the energy – I soaked it all up and knew I was going to be a musician.

I’ve released three albums: “HOPE” in 2018, in which I vibrantly sing of optimism, “LOVE” in 2020, reflecting different facets of the one true feeling and “Turn of Tides or Where the Waves Come From” in 2023, a collection of tales with the sea as the setting. Latter received four stars by RnR Magazine, was called a “colourful kaleidoscope of earwormy song pearls” by Schall Magazin and was shortlisted by the German Record Critics’ Award.

Additionally, I co-wrote and sang a song with the film composer Freya Arde, who like me lives in Berlin, for the fourth German adaptation of Erich Kästner’s novel called “Das Fliegende Klassenzimmer” (The Flying Classroom). Currently I’m working on my fourth album “Jack of Hearts” which I will release in early 2027. The Crowdfunding Campaign to finance the album raised 8000 € – thank you to everyone who supported.

Although I love writing stories and recording them in my songs, my true passion lies in playing concerts and in captivating my audience with sing-along melodies while putting Rock ’n’ Roll into Folk.

My current single “Ferris Wheel” is available now. Order a CD of my album “Turn of Tides or Where the Waves Come From” here.

Sing & Run

It was less singing and more running. This Sunday I took part in the 20th Eberswalder Stadtlauf and ran the 6.5 km distance while playing the ukulele. Ahmad Homsy joined me and it definitely didn’t get boring: we had the musical entertainment with us at all times.

Ludwig & The Riots

What a night! What a show! It was amazing to kick off the journey with Ludwig & The Riots with 350 people at the Haus Schwärzetal in Eberswalde with Lena Uhde on drums and Johanna Jäkel on keys. I loved how my songs grew with the backing of the band and this concert will definitely not have been the last time. Ludwig & The Riots are just getting started.

We’re getting the Band together

In my youth I played and sang in several bands. “Shock Flames”, “Polaris”, “Epic Rush” and “The Rankeys” were some of the group names. But since going “solo” in 2014 I haven’t had a band with rehearsals and shows.

Although I wanted to pursue that project, I put it off due to lack of time. But at the beginning of the year, I was approached by René Hoffmann to be part of a Grand Show with band. I jumped at the opportunity.

Hoffi is an optician and regularly puts on events in Eberswalde. So, for the 20 years anniversary of Hoffmann & Brillen we’ll be playing as a three-piece with Lena Uhde on drums and Johanna Jäkel on Keys as Ludwig & The Riots. It’s great to play my songs with a full sonic backing and I’m planning to play more band shows soon.
