Lionel & Band….saw you guys at the New Daisy in Memphis and then again at the Orpheum and was blown away. My son played in the IBC Youth Challenge and he too was blown away by you guys. Keep it up!
If you ever get towards Lincoln, NE, I’m begging you play a gig at the Zoo Bar.
i caught you guys for the 1st time at the oriental theater in march-you guys tore the place up!! went out and grabbed a copy of ‘as the sun goes down’ and can’t wait to get more music from the band. how does a guy get the new cd?? and i heard you were gonna play the toad tavern soon? i’m keepin my eyes open for gigs so i can try and catch you live(as many times as i can) great sound/great band-i’ll be a fan for life!!
Thanks, Jerry! CDs will be available at Toad Tavern.
are you planning a tour to Europe in 2011 of 2012?
we like to see you over here!
Very likely we will be in Paris in early Nov (2011). Stay tuned…
I caught your show at the 2011 Charlie West Blues Fest. Incredible! I hope Jack will have you back next year and in a time slot later in the day.
Lionel,
Great show at Charlie West. Looking forward to seeing you in the ‘burg!
8-3-11 Truly enjoyed your stop at The Old Boston in Fort Dodge, Iowa. That was the most amazing performance on Central Avenue since Buddy Miles played in a little bar a few blocks east of there about ten years ago….such great musicianship, and the fun you were having on stage made it a truly memorable evening….Your bio explains how those classical licks were sneaking into the bluesiest fiddle I’ve heard since Stuff Smith…..I’ve become a fan….hope to see you in Baxter, Iowa on the 17th…..
my ugly sister toni told me i had to be sure i get to bethany blues in lewes on aug 19.
hope to get a chance to listen to you that evening.
she raves about your music

To everyone of you in the band, thank you so much for your top notch music on the recent Blues Cruise out of San Diego. You were our favourite group on board. Absolutely loved the way you all shared the vocals, sounded unreal. We bought your album and have been playing the pants off it. Thanks Dexter for going to the trouble to get your signatures on the album for me. We hope one day we might see you all down under. All the very best to you all.
We will stayed tuned for more of your great music in the future.
Good luck from Australia.
Wow! Hey Guys- Lionel, Dexter and the whole band, We are crazy about your new CD, On The Way To Memphis. “It’s the freshest, most fantastic CD I’ve heard in forever,” Carrie. We just love it. What else can we say. Johnny is so proud of you guys. You’re an inspiration to him. And you know we love you. God bless. Again, “Wow!” Carrie and Johnny Long
Hi guys wanted to send you my review for your CD. Sorry it took so long. Publish if you like.
Lionel Young Band – On Our Way To Memphis
Winners in the band competition of the 2011 International Blues Challenge awards, this band is just beginning. Although hailing from Colorado they have the Memphis sound that makes you admit defeat and leads you directly onto the dance floor, do not pass go, do not collect $200 go directly to the dance floor! The Lionel Young Band performed at the Great Woods Music Festival in Beausejour last year and was a hit! Their album On Our Way To Memphis begins, cruises through the middle and ends with everything from originals like Knock These Blues Around to T Bone Walker’s Strollin’ With The Bone ending with a beautiful a cappella version of Sam Cooke’s Bring It On Home. Nice album! (www.lionelyoung.net) – EB-Bluesday CKUW 95.9FM Winnipeg, Canada
