Tour begins

Yes, the real tour begins! I am listing below the summer with Lionel Young Band, as it currently stands. We have had some great experiences already - more to come! Please tell your sister in Gahana and your cousin in Woodstock to come out and see us - it is a really great band!

They should double check the date with the venue before driving a long way and please make sure they come up and introduce themselves! Just Sat we drove into KC, MO thinking we were playing a whole night there, only to find we were an opening act! Oh, and you can tell my friends, too!

Meanwhile, my dates here at home become very precious moments, to play with my dear friends here in Colorado and to connect with you, the people I love to share my music with!

Short notice, I know... hope to see you there!
