MSpace Bands

Lehto and Wright
Steve Lehto is the Director of Sales Engineering here at M:Space. Steve Lehto and John Wright joined by drummer Matt Jacobs, have put together a brilliant collection of mostly English and Irish material in guitar grounded arrangements. The Lehto and Wright sound is a unique blend of traditional and modern styles. By taking cues from the Irish, English and American folk traditions and blending them with a healthy dose of original compositions, Lehto and Wright have taken a fresh approach to the world of folk, and with the addition of Matt Jacobs on drums and percussion, folk rock.

The Auto Body Experience
Tom Larson is a Sales Engineer here at M:Space. Tom is a veteran of the local music scene, an accomplished bassist and sound technician, and a fine gentleman to boot. He was road manager/FOH soundman for Michael Hedges and Patty Larkin. He has also toured with Tina & The B-sides. Since 1995 he has been the bass player for Auto Body Experience, and recently played with high-energy cover band Sonik Circus. The Auto Body Experience is a horn-driven rock band from St. Paul, Minnesota. They play off-kilter songs written by bandleader Scott Yoho. The lyrics are often humorous and cover unusual topics, whether they're exploring the tunnels under Disneyland or discovering that your childhood companions were all employed by your dad. Stylistically, the music ranges from cartoon jazz to ska, Latin to guitar-driven pop, and reggae to gospel - often all within the course of one song.
