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 to complete the band’s sound and look. Fast forward 15 years: 6 studio releases (and one live), threeDownbeat Nominations, a Minnesota Arts Tour Grant, collaborations with symphony orchestras, thousands of miles of touring and the band is just getting started.

**************************
Tapers notes: I'm pretty happy with how this recording turned out, the sound is really good. The cicadas were out in force this night, so in between songs you can hear them buzzing, but otherwise there aren't any real flaws with this one.

"Got a mind to ramble, got a mind to roam
I'm travelin' light and I'm slow coming home"
