It's been great the last couple of weeks in Boulder, with May-like weather and lots of good music, including a set Thur with Ginga and Rony Barack. Travel time is upon us so here are a whole bunch of dates to tell your friends about... all over the place! And if you tell someone to come listen, they better come introduce themselves and tell me who sent 'em!

What is it about Topeka Kansas? I always meet writers, poets, and just regular interesting folks who like music, and know something about it. Whatever it is, we always have a good time here.

The schedule below is  Lionel Young Band dates through July
(Of course you can keep up to date with us on www.lionelyoung.net)

But more immediately I will be in Missoula, MT for Jazzoula Apr 23-26, performing with various groups on Monday, Wed and Thurs. Hope to see a lot of dear friends there!
