Music in the Park - Lehto & Wright

  • Veterans Park 101 South Main Street River Falls, WI, 54022 United States (map)

We are honored to have the amazing Lehto & Wright band return for our Music in the Park 2024 season! A fan favorite, as well as a truly original musical experience, Lehto & Wright never fail to put on a fantastic unique show that's not to be missed.

Here's a bit about this fantastic group:
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 a fresh approach to the world of folk and folk rock.

Lehto and Wright perform either as an acoustic duo, or a tastefully electric trio, with the addition of Matt Jacobs on drums and percussion. As a duo, John Wright and Steve Lehto perform their material in an acoustic, "unplugged" setting. From American spirituals to Irish tune sets, their accomplished twin guitar/mandolin approach has all the intensity and power as 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.
