Former And So I Watch You From Afar member Tony Wright will bring his solo venture VerseChorusVerse to two UK festivals later this year.
With the self-titled debut solo album ribboned up for release on April 7th through Third Bar, Wright is to visit Camden Rocks on May 31st and the Hit The Deck event which takes place in Bristol and Nottingham on April 19th and 20th respectively.
Live4ever talked through Wright’s somewhat surprise departure from ASIWYFA when we sat down with the re-jigged line-up at the South By Southwest Festival back in 2012.
“He’s always been a singer/songwriter, and about 18 months ago he started taking that more seriously and was starting to gig a bit, and it just got to the point where we had a big tour coming up and his involvement with the band and his own thing got to the point where it was make or break,” they told us.
“There was an element of frustration as well; like we’re always going to love him, but if something makes you unhappy that you’re supposed to love doing and you stop loving it, it’s time to move on.”
