Biography
"Listening to these two songs by 2Ton Bridge, the nom de plume of singer/songwriter Alex Wright, one gets the feeling that they're reconnecting with an old friend, even though any previous association likely never existed. Wright's warm vocals, Tammy Rogers' rich string arrangements and producer Marvin Etizoni's supple oversight makes THESE RECORDINGS ABSOLUTELY SHIMMER. It's impossible not to be wholly enticed."
(( Lee Zimmerman, writer, No Depression ))

2Ton Bridge is Alexander Wright: a hands-on troubadour with a voice of reason digging deep into rich musical soil. The cultivated songs are colorful portraits of the struggle for dignity and significance by a man confronting personal watershed moments.


With a lifetime of work as a devoted musician, writer, player, actor, director, producer, wood shaman and creative entrepreneur, Alexander Wright has a commanding, sensitive presence in film, stage and recordings. The two original songs on th 2Ton Bridge "Digital 45" were produced and arranged by Marvin Etzioni (Lone Justice, Lucinda Williams) with associate producers Alexander Wright and Eric Heywood (Ray LaMontagne, Son Volt). They were mixed by Ryan Freeland (Milk Carton Kids, Carolina Chocolate Drops) and mastered by Gavin Lursson (T Bone Burnett, Robert Plant/Alison Krauss).
