“Even the pauses were great.” Richard, audience member after a show

Ludwig Wright is a British German songwriter, poet and performer putting Rock ’n’ Roll into Folk with sing-along melodies. Musically, he is the child of Elvis Presley and Joni Mitchell. From his father he got the dazzling stage presence and the charming smile. His mother gave him the tender fingerpicking and his strong, clear voice. Effortlessly he mixes musical styles and travels between the British and German singer-songwriter and folk scenes, having played street shows around Europe and over 200 concerts. The songwriter has performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and made his debut with two tremendous shows at the Rudolstadt Festival 2023 in Germany.

On 4^th August 2023 “Turn of Tides or Where the Waves Come From” Ludwig Wright’s third and current album was released. It is a collection of tales with the sea as the setting. The maritime motif meanders like a golden thread through the 13 songs. The musician says: “For me oceans are simply magical and I’ve always felt this profound ‘Sehnsucht’ for the sea.” Ludwig Wright, who has a British father and a German mother, mentions his yearly visits to his grandfather in North Devon: “We’d sit on the cliffs for hours, watching the waves hit the shore. Now these memories have flown into this album.” For this he was able to win over the producer Micki Meuser who has worked with German stars like Ina Deter, Silly and Die Ärzte.
