Revision as of 04:15, 21 September 2014
The Wright Kids was a bluegrass band act from Season 3 of America's Got Talent. The group was eliminated in the Top 10.
Background
The Wright Kids as they auditioned consisted of three members; 12 year-old Sage, 9 year-old Baruch, and 6 year-old Levi.
Sage has musical interests as varied as her musical abilities. She has been playing violin since the age of 3 and performs classical music by composers such as Mendelssohn, Bach, Wieniawski and Bazini. At age 9, Sage became the youngest person to ever win an audition for the Roanoke Symphony's 50 year old youth orchestra. Sage enjoys playing the violin in many different genres, including classical, bluegrass, rock and jazz, to name just a few. She also plays viola, as well as violin parts with her Conner 5 string fiddle. Sage began playing mandolin at age 8. When Sage isn't playing music, she likes to swim and ride her bike for fun. Sage also likes to crochet belts, bracelets and necklaces and share them with younger sister Selah.
Baruch began singing at age 3. He started playing guitar by age of 5 and quickly developed into a strong rhythm guitar player. Baruch plays most of his songs on his Martin D16 but occasionally uses his Martin 000 or Martin Classical Guitar. Success arrived early for Baruch. At age 7, Baruch won Oscar Mayer's Sing The Jingle Be a Star contest and earned a top spot in a national television commercial. The commercial was filmed in Hollywood. Baruch has been playing the banjo for over two years and enjoys a Scruggs style of playing. He plays classical bass in a youth string orchestra. Baruch enjoys swimming and riding his bike. Baruch is also a huge Scooby Doo fan.
Levi began his adventure in music by age 3. Singing at such a young age led to Levi joining Sage and Baruch to form a young singing trio. You Are My Sunshine earned the three top honors at festivals. Levi would move on from You Are My Sunshine to sing Two Little Boys. Levi began playing the bass at age 5. Like Baruch, Levi is a huge Scooby Doo fan. The two enjoy watching the old re runs. Levi has watched numerous documentaries and read countless books on the Titanic. 1
Audition
The Wright Kids' audition was never televised. It is unknown whether or not the group was buzzed, but at least two judges voted "Yes," sending the act to the Vegas Round.
Vegas Round
The Wright Kids was one of the Music Acts in the Vegas Round. The group's performance in Episode 308 was not fully televised, but it consisted of performing a song about crying. The Wright Kids' audition was strong enough for the judges to include them in the Top 60 shortlist and to later send them to the Top 40 Quarterfinals in Episode 309.
Quarterfinals
The Wright Kids' Part 2 Quarterfinals performance in Episode 311 consisted of performing The Monkees' "Daydream Believer." The Wright Kids received enough votes to be sent to the Semifinals in Episode 312 instead of Jonathan Arons.
Semifinals
The Wright Kids' Part 1 Semifinals performance in Episode 314 consisted of performing Bobby Day's "Rockin Robbin." The Wright Kids received enough votes to be sent to the Top 10 in Episode 316 instead of ZOOperstars!.
Top 10
The Wright Kids' Top 10 performance in Episode 317 consisted of performing The Jackson 5's "ABC." The Wright Kids did not receive enough votes to be sent to the Final 5, eliminating the trio from the competition in Episode 318 instead of Nuttin' But Stringz.
