Galactic Cowboy Orchestra Trio

Downbeat-nominated, Galactic Cowboy Orchestra, performs their complex yet musical original pieces with a few choice covers tossed in for good measure. The intricate nature of their music is magnified when they perform sans drums in the intimate setting of the Dunsmore Room.

Lisi Wright: Vocals, Electric 5-String Violin
Dan Neale: Vocals, Acoustic & Electric Guitars
John Wright: Vocals, Bass Guitar

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 influences ranging from Mahavishnu Orchestra, The Dixie Dregs and King Crimson, to name a few. Wright enlisted the aid of guitarist Dan Neale, who brought to the table many deep Jazz influences in his advanced playing and composing style. Along with the band’s first drummer, Mark O'Day, the beginnings of Galactic Cowboy Orchestra were found. Soon after, violinist (and John’s wife) Lisi Wright joined the band with her aggressive "electric guitar player plays violin" style and engaging stage presence. Fast forward 15 years: 6 studio releases and one live release, three Downbeat Nominations, a Minnesota Arts Tour Grant, collaborations with symphony orchestras, thousands of miles of touring and the band has a stronger than ever commitment to create the ultimate musical moment between the players and the audience with their Art Rock/Jazz Fusion creations.
