TODD WRIGHT & FRIENDS: A Retrospective featuring members of the Excentrics + The Getaway Car + West Goes East (Mark and Justin Jonasay)

Singer-songwriter Todd Wright spent the early part of this century with his band GetawayCar who's song "Superstar" was the soundtrack for the 2003 Pontiac Vibe. The band had to turn down the opening slot at the legendary HFStival in their hometown of Washington, DC when Todd landed a gig playing guitar with then-Atlantic Recording Artist Lucy Woodward. He spent most of 2003 with Lucy promoting her debut album "While You Can" in the US, Japan and New Zealand. From 2004-2006 Todd was the touring keyboardist/guitarist with the Pat McGee Band in support of their Warner Brothers release "Save Me." In addition to these artists Todd has been a fill in guitarist for Sony/Or artist Adam Richman and Better Than Ezra.

In late 2006 Wright left the touring world to join forces with songwriter Scott Simons. Their instant chemistry as a writing team produced a batch of songs that got them signed to World's End Management within months of their first collaboration. In addition to Simons/Wright Todd produced and co-wrote the Pat McGee Band's last album "These Days-The Virginia Sessions" and has been writing with, producing and developing the DC-based beyond-her-years teen singer Chelsea Lee. In 2008 Wright signed to Warner Chappell music publishing and has written songs with artists on Verve, Epitaph, Atlantic and Motown/Universal.

In 2010 Wright signed with Pen music publishing and has since placed songs on TV shows Bones (FOX) and One Tree Hill (CW) as well as an upcoming major motion picture called What's Your Number. In his 39th year Wright completed a project called 40x40 where he wrote and released a song every week for 40 weeks culminating on his 40th birthday. The project was participated in by many of Todd's musical buds including members of Collective Soul, Better Than Ezra, The New York Dolls and Taylor Swift's band.
