Raised on church music in Georgia, Wright's performance featured songs like "I Remember, I Believe" by Bernice Johnson Reagon and "Hit the Ground" co-written by Toshi Reagon, her best friend. Backed by a skillful band including guitarist Robin Macatangay, bassist Nicholas D'Amato, and drummer Brannen Temple, Wright's cool and understated delivery mesmerized the audience. Her music, like on her latest album "Fellowship," offers a blend of spiritual depth and graceful coolness, making her a standout artist in the contemporary music scene.
