Galactic Cowboy Orchestra
Acoustic Trio
Galactic Cowboy Orchestra was started in 2009 by founding member/bass player John Wright. The band was born out of a desire to play technically challenging music derived from John’s diverse influences. He enlisted guitarist Dan Neale, who brought many Jazz influences in his playing and composing style. Soon after, violinist (and John’s wife) Lisi Wright joined the band with her aggressive "electric-guitar-player-plays-violin" style to complete the band’s sound and look. 2025 brings a new studio release and a stronger-than-ever commitment to create the ultimate musical moment between the players and the audience.
