Little Jackie Wright is a sometimes alt-county, sometimes Canadiana and sometimes roots rock band hailing from various points across the Toronto-Golden Horseshoe region. Influenced by many, but copying none, LJW's blossoming catalogue of original music is comprised of tunes with rich melodies, heart on its collective sleeves storytelling enhanced with pure organic tone.
Initially conceived as an eclectic cover band by brothers Luca and Rob Cargnelli and Rob’s high school mate Chris Robins, LJW was eventually supplemented with Luca’s former housemate Dave Lavkulik. The band quickly morphed into a prolific songwriting venture after a weekend of musical collaboration and fly swatting at a remote hideout in northern Ontario.
Little Jackie Wright is currently recording their first CD yet writing new material for their third at Hamilton’s Catharine North studio. Check out Little Jackie on Facebook, MySpace and Twitter for album release parties, promotional material, and upcoming shows.
