“The Wright Kids” Rocky Mount’s Sibling Superstars!

The Wright Kids, Sage, Baruch, & Levi who performed on America’s Got Talent in 2008, have been honing their harmony skills for the past two years. During this time, Sage and Baruch won numerous awards for fiddle, mandolin and guitar playing, in addition to the three taking top honors in singing competitions. The three opened for bluegrass greats such as Rhonda Vincent, James King, The Lewis Family and The Lonesome River Band. Recently, they opened for country music legend, Lee Greenwood, and received a standing ovation from thousands of fans in the packed coliseum.


Like most of the rest of America I first discovered “The Wright Kids” while enjoying a relaxing evening watching NBC’s America’s Got Talent!   I was blown away at their first performance and could not wait to see the next weeks show just knowing that they would be in the Top Ten!  I watched with excitement, as each week they performed doing better than the week before.  I became an instant fan. And while they did not win the grand prize, they captured something more important…… The heart’s of Americans everywhere…..  Well, that was two years ago and these kids continue to play and sing and impress audiences everywhere they go!

Sage is now 14, Baruch is 11 and Levi is 8 years old.  The three have been performing as a trio for almost 4 years.  The three took their first shot at being a trio when they entered a youth band competition at the Galax Fiddler’s Convention in 2006.  Levi sang lead and Sage and Baruch sang harmony while playing guitar and fiddle.  The three performed You Are My Sunshine and took 1st place at the world’s largest and oldest fiddler’s convention.

Tallan Noble Latz is most likely the youngest most talented blues guitarists in the world! Tallan only 10 years old is already a well known name among famous guitarists and has performed with some of the greats. This is one young man that has to be seen and heard to be believed!

WIStateFair1 8-09Of all the young artists that grace this site I believe Tallan Latz to be one of the most talented young showman that I have ever witness perform.  I think my being a native of the Upper Peninsula has also given me an overwhelming joy to know that this youngster with such outstanding talent was born and now resides close to where I use to live.

Talan’s last article appeared here on  February 19th announcing his winning of the WAMI Rising Star Award for 2010. Since that time, Tallan has been performing for a number of benefits for children with cancer, trying to raise awareness and money.  If you have not yet heard Tallan play and sing your in for a very special exclusive treat!!
