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.
