The Wright Choice started playing together in the fall of 2004. Chuck
Wright and Skye Clements were performing at Santa Caligon for the
Mo-Kan Gospel Association, and were introduced to Dan Edson. We got
together shortly after that and started working up acoustic music with a
bluegrass influence. Shortly thereafter, we were joined by Renae Edson on
the bass to round out the group. We play christian music exclusively and
have approximately 12 original songs in our repertoire. We had a brief
vacation this last few months as our lead singer Skye, gave birth to her
second son. We are back in full swing again, and anxious to show our stuff.
Chuck Wright is the leader of the group and is 54 years old from Grain
Valley, Mo. He is a transplanted Okie that moved to the big city in 1999.
He started playing guitar in 1965 and was primarily a rock and roll
musician until 1995 when the acoustic side emerged and his faith in God
was confirmed . He is a member of the Faith United Methodist Church in
Grain Valley and a member of the praise team of the same church.
Skye Clements is 31 years old and also a resident of Grain Valley. She
comes from a family of musicians and is an accomplished pianist and lead
vocalist. She also is a member of the Kansas City symphony choir and
regularly performs at their functions. Skye is also a member of the Faith
United Methodist Church and is the worship leader for the praise team at
Sunday services.
Dan Edson, 41, is the lead player for the group. From Independence, Mo. he
plays guitar, mandolin and the hammered dulcimer. He is also a gifted
vocalist that sings lead on some songs and does a lot of the harmony work.
He also comes from a family of long time musicians. He was raised up in
the Branson area and has played with several groups, including Saints
Alive, a local bluegrass band. Dans father builds fine musical instruments
and crafted the hammered dulcimer that he uses today.
Renae Edson is Dan's wife and the groups bass player. She plays the
upright bass and is the groups spiritual leader. At 43, she has an
extensive classical music background and also played with Saints Alive.
Together, Dan and Renae have 4 children ranging in age from 3 to 17.
Renae was born and raised in the Archie and Adrian part of mid western
Missouri and also has a family history of musicians. Her grandfather was
a multi time champion fiddler.
We have played for several different churches over the last 18 months
and played for the Methodist Church in Smithville last year when they
first moved into their new church. We played last year for Christian Day
at the I-70 speedway, Ridin for the Redeemer annual picnic for the Saved
By Grace Ministry at Raymore, Mo, and we are scheduled to play at
Mountain Music Shoppe on Sept 30. We are close friends of Randy and
Elizabeth Davenport and regularly play at the same events as Randy.
The enclosed CD is a demo that we recorded in March of this year. It
features a song written by Peter Rowan (Dancin with the Angels), an
original tune (Gods Promises) and a Rhonda Vincent tune (I've Forgotten
You) We would be very honored to play on  the Neighbors coffeehouse
stage if you can manage to fit us in. It looks like you have plenty of
talent to choose from, judging from your website. For further
