Victor Wainwright Biography

Victor Wainwright is one of the most popular and richest Musician who was born on February 4, 1981 in Savannah, Georgia, United States. Victor Lawton Wainwright, Jr. (born on February 4 1981) is an American blues and boogie-woogie musician as well as songwriter and pianist. The style of Wainwright’s music was described by American Blues Scene magazine in 2013 as “honky-tonk and boogie, with a dose of rolling thunder. Wainwright’s playing is simply beautiful madness.”

After an impromptu jam session held in July of 2011, in Florida, Wainwright teamed up with Damon Fowler, J.P. Soars, Chuck Riley, and Chris Peet to form the group that would later become Southern Hospitality. Their first performance was as a support for Buddy Guy in August the same year at the Heritage Music Blues Fest in Wheeling, West Virginia. The band’s debut record, Easy Livin’ , (2013) was recorded by Tab Benoit and released through Blind Pig Records. The album peaked at the number 9 spot at the top of the US Billboard Top Blues Album chart. The year 2014 was the time that Wainwright received the “Pinetop Perrykins Player of Year’ honor in the Blues Music Awards for the second time in a row.

Wainwright later attended college in Daytona Beach, Florida, and undertook an Air Traffic Management and Psychology degree at Embry–Riddle Aeronautical University, before relocating to Memphis, Tennessee. He then worked as an air traffic controller at Memphis International Airport.

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.”

In October of 2010, Wainwright appeared at Dark Season Blues in Norway. The following year, he appeared in the South Florida Boogie Woogie Piano Festival. In June of that year, Lit Up! was released, and again crediting as a tribute to Victor Wainwright & the WildRoots. The album climbed to the top position on the Sirius/XM B.B. King’s Bluesville channel’s “Pick To Click,” second in the Collectif des Radio Blues Charts as well as number 13 in the Living Blues Radio Chart.
