Mark Wrights Fan Page
Mark Wright is an up and comming musician that I first heard about 8 years ago. He was at that time the Lead Singer for the band Black. Black released three albums, headlined club tours, and sold over 5,000 albums. They also made appearances at famed gigs such as the Bite of Seattle, an opening slot for Queensryche at The Bank Of America Center in Boise, and two dates as house band on the Jenny Jones Show.
Mark Wright decided to get back to his more melodic, U2 roots, and along with Caron (Drummer from Black) formed Middle 8. While Middle 8s music incorporated the power of Black, it also gave equal time to Wrights passion for melody and intricate lyrics. I love to sit and feel the band, says Wright. Middle 8 had a successful underground run with its first release entitled Hero.
Mark Wright is now focusing his time and attention working on his solo career, writing and performing acoustic sets of music with drama and emotion. His choice is to downplay the frivolity of image, and create songs with depth. Music should move people, but the world is a difficult place now, and we expect to be entertained by the look of the band more than the sound of the band, says Wright. When hes not doing music, Wright is teaching World History and Japanese to high school kids. He also coaches high school varsity girls basketball and soccer, but his love and passion lives in music. With honed songwriting skills, recording experience, and a slew of notable performances under his belt, Wright looks forward to a bright future filled with great music. There is a lot of good music out there right now, and Im glad to be a part of it!
Middle 8, Black, and Mark are and were based out of Bellingham, Washington. Managed by Seventh Heaven Records.
Mark's Solo Album is due out in September.
