Victor Wainwright & the Train Bio
2019 Grammy-nominated for their self-titled album on Ruf Records, Victor Wainwright and the Train are powering along the tracks with their boogie-woogie, pedal-to-the-medal blues. Composer, producer, vocalist, and award wining entertainer and piano player Victor Wainwright is a raucous high-octane, dynamic performer and crowd pleaser with soul to spare. Though his career began over a decade ago with genuine rock n’ roll honky-tonk, these days Wainwright has broadened his artistic scope to include every corner of the blues. His insatiable interest in music discovery, sheer love for entertaining and curiosity have led him all around the world, and the resulting perspective is a reflection of his passion for entertaining and creating progressive roots music in an effort to move the art-form forward. Among his many awards, Victor Wainwright was named BMA Pinetop Perkins Piano Player of the Year in 2013, 2014, and 2017 and BMA BB King Entertainer and Band of the Year in 2016.
