\u201cWe were kinda iffy at first about it because it was so many moving parts but I was glad perform this in front of my peers it was a success,\u201d Wright said.<\/p>\n
His new album \u201dCrews-n Back Home dropped late Thursday night \u2014 it features 10 songs. Students and faculty heard the whole album during the concert.<\/p>\n
Wright said the album was in the works for one year and the hard work paid off after seeing the feedback from the crowd.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe decided to put some home town feeling songs in there let people relate where I\u2019m from,\u201d He said. \u201d We had a good time making it and performing in front of my friends they act like crazy fools sometimes but they are there when it counts.\u201d<\/p>\n
Months ago, the country music world was put on notice after wowing judges and viewers with his talents on the last season of American Idol where he finished within the top 30.<\/p>\n
Since then he\u2019s been grinding his senior year of high school, in and out the studio and doing small shows \u2013 he credits American Idol for his growth.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe contestants and judges their feedback always helped me even when it wasn\u2019t on the screen it always helped me especially now I\u2019m back home and playing shows to hopefully spread my wings and go forward.<\/p>\n
But he said it would be hard to go forward without the support of the Wiregrass especially the Geneva County area.<\/p>\n
\u201cI got awesome friends and family and I say that a lot but its a lifetime and I\u2019m ready to do more shows,\u201d He added.<\/p>\n
One of his next biggest shows will be in Dothan November 8th as the opener of country music star Clay Walker at the Dothan Civic Center.<\/p>\n
