"Not just loud, but Memphis Loud, the latest sermon of boisterous, big-hearted Americana from Victor Wainwright and The Train, is an absolute showstopper that shakes, rattles, and rolls until it’s completely out of breath." - Elmore Magazine
"Savannah, GA native Victor Wainwright is all about boogie-woogie piano, deep soul, and a voice that recalls Dr. John at his best. He is a blues star and a tremendous player." - Chicago Blues Guide
"Victor Wainwright is a world champion piano player, two times over! Not only is Victor one of the greatest blues piano players in the business, but he’s also a world-class entertainer and vocalist." – Blues Revue Magazine
Composer, producer, vocalist, and award-winning entertainer and piano player, Victor Wainwright is a raucous, high-octane performer with soul to spare, delivering dynamic, crowd-pleasing performances.
The name of Victor Wainwright’s band – and the image on their album covers – serves as a perfect metaphor. In music folklore, the train may be associated with the freight-hopping bluesmen of the past, but with this restless boogie-woogie innovator at the helm, Wainwright is a charging locomotive – surging forward, breaking through genre boundaries, gathering fresh sounds, and barreling past the doubters. Among his numerous accolades, Wainwright has won six Blues Music Awards, reached #1 on the U.S. Billboard Top 10, and was nominated for a 2019 Grammy.
