EPK – Music for Hire!

Young, enthusiastic West Coast Musicians performing as Lenny and Pete or the Canyon Riders. Captivating audiences with their music infused with the rich traditions of southern and heartland rock, blues, folk and country.

Our Story

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

Together, alongside their friend and drummer Brett they formed ‘Canyon Riders’, and later introducing bassist Dan to complete the Canyon Riders 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. Keep your ears open for the soulful energy of Lenny and Pete as they continue to serenade their favorite corners of town.
