Skills

A performance by Leslie Ritter & Scott Petito is a heady voyage that rises as if from an ancient Celtic mist, tempering the spirit of Ritter’s dulcet tones with Petito’s fluid fret work as a living bridge of jazz-borrowing acoustic soul.

“Beautiful vocals and dynamic musicianship which together create ethereal melodies that relaxes and excites listeners all at once. Perfect music for slow wakeful mornings, lazy afternoons, or any time one wishes to fade in and out of a blissful melodic delight”

 "A little folk, a little pop and more than a little magic!"

" A dynamic musical duo that blends beautifully haunting vocals with soundscapes of grandeur and polish."

"A terrific band that makes music so gorgeous you can almost see it. It features Ritters heavenly vocals and a sound that seems spacious and evocative, the musical equivalent of a Monet painting. The lyrics are just as distinctive and pack quite a punch."
