His career, spanning over a decade, has seen him evolve from the vibrant scenes of Savannah, Georgia, to becoming a luminary in the Memphis music scene, a city synonymous with the soul-stirring roots of the blues. His musical journey is richly documented through a series of critically acclaimed albums, including his spirited "Piana from Savannah" and the hard-hitting "Memphis Loud," showcasing his dynamic range and deep connection to the blues tradition.

His live sessions, including the notable "Jam in the Van - Victor Wainwright (Live Session, Mammoth Lakes, CA 2021)," highlight the spontaneous magic and sheer joy of his performances. A multiple winner and nominee of prestigious blues awards, Wainwright's passionate storytelling, and mastery of the keyboard make him a pivotal figure in continuing the legacy of blues music for future generations.
