Rusty Wright Blues Contemporary Blues-rock featuring Rusty Wright’s ripping guitar work and meticulously crafted songs so full of hooks and infectious groove your hips and head will keep swayin’ and bobbin’ long after the songs have played. The Rusty Wright Blues live show showcases the act’s original Blues material, along with a mix of seldom-heard Blues-rock gems and classic Rock tunes adapted to the RWB sound with fresh arrangements. Playing off a particularly enthusiastic response they hear at almost every show, Rusty and Laurie jokingly decided they had to dub their 2005 promotional tour dates the “Dude! Where the #$%& did you guys come from?” Tour after hearing it from none other than Johnny Van Zant and Ricky Medlocke from Lynyrd Skynyrd when they opened for Skynyrd in June, 2004.Longtime fans aren’t surprised. Rusty Wright’s got the kind of guitar chops that make people stop and stare, as if spellbound. Wide eyed, people jostle for a better view of his hands and riotous facial expressions. He’s also a skilled movie and television composer, songwriter, audio engineer and in-demand session guitarist whose introduction to touring and professional musicianship came at age 13 when he climbed aboard a tour bus and became the guitarist for a successful southern gospel recording act led by his mother.Joining him on stage is his wife, Laurie, a woman who knows how to deliver a song. With a vivid and expressive vocal style that stretches with ease from a breathy, crooned endearment into a two-octave slide that becomes a throaty affirmation of her ability to wail, Laurie LaCross has a style that touches people’s emotions - often making the most gruff and stoic man in the room wipe at his eyes with her blues rendition of “Summertime”. Together, they soar musically, taking turns playing off each other. She laughs with delight when Rusty plays a particularly inventive riff. His guitar echoes the dynamics and emotion of her voice. He closes his eyes and loses himself in the music as he plays. She, in turn, looks out from the stage, smiling widely, as if to say “You’d better believe this is every bit as fun as it looks!” Genre: Blues:Electric
