Campbell Ross Wright was born in 1950 in Washington DC. He spent his early childhood and most of his life growing up on farms in Virginia and in Maryland, where he raised horses, pigs, and chickens as well as growing corn, wheat, and soybeans. At the early age of seven Campbell was influenced mightily toward music when his young mind was rocked by his first experience hearing Elvis Presley perform "Hound Dog". After spending sometime pursuing a career as a painter and a sculptor in New York City (his paintings and work are show in major collections around the world) he found that his desire for music and the shaping of his seven year old mind by Elvis was a seed planted that would not and could not be ignored. His passion suddenly found him working as a singer and songwriter in Nashville. In 1995, he wrote his first song entitled "The Old Guitar". Since then, he has found himself working among great artists such as Livingston Taylor, David Bromberg, Taj Mahal, Tom Rush, Dave Van Ronk, John Fahey, and his mentor Paul Siebel. He has performed with his band The Bluenose Gophers and played with The Moondogs, the Hootenanny Orchestra, Grateful Floyd, The Kenny Haddaway Trio, and the J. Guy Combo. Recently Campbell is working on many new music projects and a new and anticipated album that will be coming up soon.
