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 huge show to save the orphanage in which they grew up in. For this purpose, they bring their former band back together. The performances, the songs, the energy – I soaked it all up while watching and I knew: I wanted to be a musician.

My first two albums “HOPE” and “LOVE” I released independently. For the recording of my third album “Turn of Tides or Where the Waves Come From” I was able to win over the producer Micki Meuser (Ina Deter, Silly, Die Ärzte) which 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. The album is a collection of tales with the sea as the setting. I remember visiting my grandfather in North Devon. We’d sit on the cliffs for hours, watching the waves hit the shore.

In 2023 I also co-wrote and sang a song with the film composer Freya Arde for the fourth adaptation of the novel by Erich Kästner called “Das Fliegende Klassenzimmer” (The Flying Classroom). Recently I released my current single “Love Letters”. The song is dedicated to a friend, to give him courage to show his feelings. I live in Berlin and although I love writing stories in my songs and recording them, my true passion lies in performing and doing what I do best: Putting Rock ’n’ Roll into Folk.

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