Rock, blues, country and more.

Welcome and glad you found us, we are ‘Lenny and Pete’ and the ‘Canyon Riders’ band – Canadian musicians sharing our music infused with the rich traditions of rock, blues, country and more.

Here’s What’s New

So far, this year’s been a whirlwind of good times and loud nights.

Back in April, we played to a packed house at the Rickshaw Theatre — huge thanks to @realtommymac and the boys from @dayofthedogonline. You guys absolutely rocked it. Always a blast sharing the stage with @pistolwhipthedevil — those gentlemen know how to party.

If you’re into a little country, we hit up the new @barncountrybar in Surrey for a rock-solid night.

In May, the Island was calling, so we hopped the ferry and brought the noise to @theterminalnanaimo — stoked to make our debut in the Island music scene. Then it was on to @phoenixbarandgrill in Victoria for another hell of a night. What a start to the year!

June kicked off with a weeklong road trip full of band shenanigans — Banff, a stop in Drumheller (yep, Dinosaur Capital of the World!), and a chance to roam the Badlands. Then it was our first Alberta gig at @d2barandstage in Red Deer, followed by a wild night at @therealverns in Calgary where we played all your Canyon Riders favourites.

Back on the coast, we got ready to hit the stage at @foxcabaret, joined by @hotelindieband and @storiesendofficial. It was our first time playing The Fox, and we were over the moon to play to a sold-out room. The night was hot, and the place was packed! — and we showed ’em how the Canyon Riders like to party.

We want to thank each and everyone of you that made it out to our shows. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for coming out, it means a lot to have your support! We love you all! ♡♡♡

Now we’re off to the Interior for a private event — more updates to come.

Lenny and Pete, once fierce rivals on the lacrosse field, discovered a harmonious connection through their shared love for guitars and music. Their musical journey began in 2020 with impromptu busking performances at various spots around Port Coquitlam, where they quickly captivated audiences and earned the moniker ‘Lenny & Pete.’ These local troubadours infuse their music with the rich traditions of southern and heartland rock, folk, blues and country.

Together, alongside their friend and drummer Brett they formed ‘Canyon Riders’, and later introducing Dan on bass to complete the lineup. With each performance, their mission is to conjure the perfect atmosphere that’ll have your feet tapping to their music.

Whether performing as ‘Lenny and Pete’ or as the ‘Canyon Riders,’ these versatile musicians have been keeping a hectic schedule, gracing venues, private gatherings, and other entertaining events throughout Metro Vancouver and various communities across British Columbia.

Available for live performances, sessions, special events & collaborations.
