2019 GRAMMY Nominee & seven time BLUES MUSIC AWARD WINNERVictor Wainwright & the Train's musical style was described by the American Blues Scene Magazine as "honky-tonk and boogie, with a dose of rolling thunder. Wainwright's playing is simply beautiful madness." Five Time Blues Music Piano Award Winner, BB KING Entertainer of the Year Award and Band of the Year Award Winner.
Living Blues Magazine noted that "Wainwright serves as an electrifying guide to a good time – spinning tales, telling his listeners how to beat the blues, and meticulously conjuring raw soul and energy out of his acoustic piano."
Though his career began over a decade ago with genuine rock n' roll honky-tonk, Wainwright has broadened his artistic scope over the years to include music representing virtually every corner of the blues. His insatiable interest in music discovery, sheer love for entertaining and curiosity have led him all around the world, and the resulting perspective is a reflection of his passion for entertaining and creating progressive roots music in an effort to move the art-form forward. Composer, producer, vocalist, and award wining entertainer and piano player; Victor Wainwright is a raucous high-octane, dynamic performer and crowd pleaser with soul to spare.
His newest release "Memphis Loud," due out on April 24, is a snapshot of the nation’s great cities and genres, embodying a connection between exciting unseen places with a modern twist. And as the title suggests, Memphis Loud’s rattle-and-shout originals demand to be played at speaker-shaking volume. “Find a moment,” he advises, “to sit back with your favorite headphones or speakers, turn it up, and listen.”
“Not just Loud, but MEMPHIS LOUD, the latest sermon of boisterous, big-hearted Americana from Victor Wainwright and The Train is an absolute showstopper that shakes, rattles and rolls until it’s completely out of breath” ELMORE Magazine
“...electrifin' boogie-woogie at warp speed, a piano-pounding ministry powerful enough to raise the dead and scald the living with righteous piano fervor.” “Wainwright's roaring like a conductor with a snoofull of cinders, his piano rocking so hard it's about to knock the train off the tracks.” NO DEPRESSION
