   About Lehto and Wright

Lehto and Wright have a sound that is a unique blend of traditional and modern styles. By taking cues from the Irish, English and American folk traditions and interpreting them with contemporary guitar-based arrangements, Lehto and Wright have taken fresh approach to the world of folk and folk rock.

Lehto and Wright perform either as a duo or, with the addition of Matt Jacobs on drums and percussion, a Celtic rock trio. As a duo, John Wright and Steve Lehto perform all the same material as with Jacobs, only in an acoustic, "unplugged" setting. From American spirituals to Irish tune sets, their accomplished twin guitar/mandolin approach has all the intensity and power of the trio with half the volume. As a trio, Lehto and Wright push the boundaries of Celtic Rock, utilizing all the tools of a rock band to achieve the effect of a six-piece band with three musicians. With either line up, John Wright and Steve Lehto offer an exciting live performance of traditional and contemporary folk music with an eclectic twist.

Don't go far away. We're working on a plan. Sure, a plan. Like you need a plan for an ICE RINK BRAWL. Let us know if you want one in your back yard. Otherwise stay put until you hear more. How's that for a simple music contract.
