New Years Eve

Dear friends,

Hey front Range folks: Leaving New Years Eve plans to the last minute? Consider this - I will be at the Outlook Hotel With Lionel Young, Chris Harris, Tony Black... and special guest Johnny Long.

For those who don't know, John is a very old friend and real deal blues man. Grew up in E St Louis and flourished under the wing of Homesick James in Chicago. They don't get any better than Johnny. He lived in Denver for many years and I played with him alot in the day... in fact that's where I first met Lionel.

So drop those uninspired plans and come on down. We will start early and finish late (something for everyone!) with lots of time to chat and catch up between sets.

2014 looks exciting already. Dexter Payne Quintet has a CD release scheduled for Feb 13, with all new website, bandcamp downloads, possible travel plans on several fronts. Marrakech Express continues to sell out shows, and there are other musical horizons popping up.

Have the best possible New Years Eve, and stay tuned for all the fun to come! I am plotting a way to materially express the gratitude I feel towards all of you for your wonderful support. Thanks for befriending my music!

Best,
Dexter
