Gary Wright<\/strong>, born on April 26, 1943 in Cresskill, New Jersey, is a musician who is best known for his hit songs “Dream Weaver” and “Love Is Alive,” but his history with a couple of Beatles is a rich one. Wright played on George Harrison’s iconic triple-album All Things Must Pass<\/em>, and played piano on Harry Nilsson’s 1971 hit “Without You.” Wright also played on Ringo Starr’s huge hits “It Don’t Come Easy” and “Back Off Boogaloo” and toured with Ringo & His All-Starr Band in both 2008 and 2010.
\nGary’s autobiography, Dream Weaver: A Memoir; Music, Meditation, and My Friendship with George Harrison<\/em>, was released in October of 2014. Friend of the Fest Tom Frangione says Gary’s wonderful book “provides a refreshing departure into something more intimate and life-affirming, examining how a spiritual bond so profoundly impacted one man\u2019s life and career, and by extension, many others through the music that resulted.”<\/strong><\/p>\n
