This week on the “Friday Night Live” series from Uvalde Radio, host Robert Miguel welcomes rising Texas artist A. Wright live from Broadway 830 in downtown Uvalde.

Broadcast Friday, May 22, this in-depth conversation introduces Uvalde listeners to A. Wright during his very first visit to the city ahead of his live patio performance. Known for blending Texas Country, Blues, Rock and Americana influences, A. Wright opens up about his musical roots, growing up in Texas after being born in Pennsylvania, and learning guitar at just five years old after being inspired by his father’s Fender Stratocaster.

Robert Miguel highlights A. Wright’s current Texas radio single “Juniper,” calling it the kind of “reaction record” radio programmers love — a song that stands out from the pack with its unique sound and blues-driven vibe. The two also discuss the Texas music scene, independent touring life, songwriting, studio recording, and how artists balance solo acoustic gigs with full band performances.

Fans of artists like Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix and Ray Wylie Hubbard will especially enjoy hearing A. Wright discuss his blues influences, harmonica setup, songwriting process, and the path that led him into the Texas Country and Red Dirt world.

The episode also features music and stories behind songs including “Juniper,” “Daphne Blue,” and “Old Cletus,” plus plenty of laughs, small-town Texas observations, and behind-the-scenes insight into life as a working independent musician.
