From Mormon roots to Sharon Van Etten collaborations: intimate piano and guitar songs rooted in genuine folk craft.

Released in 2006, Corbi Wright's All the Little Ways stands as an authentic monument to intimate songwriting quietly predating the wave of commercial 'folk' trends that would soon dominate the indie mainstream, many of which swapped genuine craft for polished, superficial tropes that bore little resemblance to actual folk traditions. Grounded in exceptionally nuanced lyricism and luminous vocal melodies, the album effortlessly channels the golden era of the Laurel Canyon singer-songwriter canon, echoing the introspective warmth of Joni Mitchell and Judee Sill while charting its own emotionally raw, uncompromising path. Growing up Mormon, Wright developed a unique perspective on spiritual independence that deeply informs the album's literary weight. Adding to her rich artistic lineage is her key musical relationship with Sharon Van Etten; Wright served as an early collaborator and touring partner with Van Etten's during their formative years. Corbi Wright also cowrote the track 'For You' which appeared on Van Etten's 2009 debut album, Because I Was In Love. Corbi's songs performed by the artist on piano and guitar, trace the subtle shifts of human connection, turning themes of vulnerability and quiet departure into rich, poetic landscapes. What gives All the Little Ways its distinct signature is a graceful synthesis of transatlantic traditions. While the record's sun-dappled acoustic arrangements and rich, organic textures pay homage to classic Southern California folk, an unmistakable undercurrent of British folk melancholy runs through its core. Drawing subtle inspiration from the atmospheric world of Sandy Denny, Nick Drake, and Bridget St. John, Wright bridges the expanse between American warmth and British reserve.
