The Wright Kids - Country, blue grass and more



Sage was nearly playing a fiddle when she arrived on the scene May 23, 1996. At age 2, she began sawing her 1/8 size fiddle while Mason fiddled his tunes around the house. During the next couple of years, Sage would begin classical violin lessons and play her two favorite songs for every occasion. Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and Bile them Cabbages just kept getting better and better.

Well, by age 4, Sage was in fiddle lessons and using Craig Duncan's Deluxe Fiddling Method. The CD played every evening as she practiced each page in her book to improve and increase her bluegrass repertoire. With little feet swinging from her chair as she practiced, Sage could hardly wait to play her songs with Mason at shows and jamborees.

The jamborees and shows were an instant hit with Sage. Her fast fingers and remarkable ear produced music that was unbelievable for someone so young. Only 5 years old and Sage was using Mason's slides, shifts and Hockum shuffles in her music. With this ability, Mason and Sage started twin fiddling and hitting beautiful harmonies. Twin fiddles became a permanent part of their music.

By age 6, Sage started realizing the potential in another instrument, her own voice. Sage's singing would create a big opportunity for her two performing siblings. Mason would develop as a backup fiddler and Baruch as a tenor. Soon, the Wright Kids would be formed.

Now, Sage also enjoys playing the mandolin. Sage has fun with the off beat rhythms and her chop adds that nice grassy thump to their music. What can possibly be next?
