Drew Wright is also known as Wounded Knee, a singer and experimental vocalist based in Leith, Edinburgh. He has been making music since 2004. Much of his work explores the tensions between tradition and modernity. In recent years his work has expanded into theatre, live film soundtracks, art installations and making work for children and young people. He has performed all over Scotland as well as internationally in Sweden, Germany, Belgium and Holland and England. He is an experienced live performer and often explores ways of presenting his work beyond conventional gigs. In 2013 he devised his "Song Shop": a portable, peripatetic pop-up shop with which he performed in Edinburgh for LeithLate and in Cupar, Fife for the Cupar Arts Festival. Also in 2013 he worked with migrants to Scotland to create new music for 'The Nation//Live': a major exhibition at the National Galleries of Scotland, on display until May 2014. At the close of 2013 Drew made number 24 in The List's 'Hot 100' of cultural contributors.

         Rantin

Rantin

Rantin
A retired American steps off the plane at Prestwick, hoping to discover the land of his fathers. A beleaguered politician in Edinburgh dips her feet into a hot bath. An old drunk man in Peterhead has a mystical vision at the harbour. A supermarket checkout girl in Port Glasgow approaches work with a golf club. . . Set specifically in the town of each performance and drawing on storytelling, live music and the Scottish folk tradition, Rantin attempts to stitch together visions of Scotland's romantic past with its ever-changing present reality, revealing the patchwork identity of a nation.
