Songs For West

I'm honored to be featured as the first track on #SongsForWest.

It's a compilation album featuring exclusive recordings from artists and bands from throughout the country.

This is offered up in hopes of raising funds for relief efforts in West, TX after the tragic fertilizer plant explosion that leveled much of the small town on April 17th, 2013.

100% of the proceeds from tips will go to the Baylor University West Relief Fund.

My song "West, Texas" is an instrumental recorded the morning after the event.  It's one live performance and one live melody overdub, recorded at Sound Emporium A with my old Les Paul through its incredible echo chamber.

Please check out the compilation and tip generously to help the folks in West, Texas.

Great Season in the Studio

It has been a fantastic season in the studio this Spring.  I have been getting to work with some of the most incredible artists.  I'm really proud of each of these projects.  Here's a look at what we've been up to.

NICK FLORA

Nick's record is currently being mixed by the genius that is Shane Wilson.  It's a unique collection of crazy stories from his family's past and powerful life anthems.

STACY LANTZ

Stacy has one of the most incredible voices I've ever heard. And such fantastic songs. It's a fun and beautiful record. Currently in mastering.

Mixing with Shane Wilson at St. Izzy's of the East.

JENNY YOUNGMAN

Jenny is a fantastic songwriter.  This album is rich with songs of family, faith and the drive to DO SOMETHING about what is on your heart.  Here pictured with Paul Eckberg (drums), yours truly, and James Gregory (bass).

And finally, maybe my favorite session of the year.  My two eldest daughters wrote some songs and asked me to record them.  It was wonderful.

Christmas Tour 2012

I just got home from Andrew Peterson's annual "Behold the Lamb" Christmas tour. We played 20 shows in 23 days or something crazy like that. From Nebraska to Florida, New Hampshire to Texas.

One of the highlights was a two-night stand in Nashville at the historic Ryman Auditorium. An amazing night with some incredible friends/musicians.

We also got to visit NASA down in Houston, and ol' Leonard got the VIP tour. Pretty amazing stuff.

Leonard Tour: COUNTDOWN TO LIFTOFF!!

First of all, thank you all for your support and encouragement in this crazy season of the Osengas' life. We're seeing a light at the end of the tunnel on our home's rebuilding and I am THRILLED to announce the revamped (and confirmed) dates for the Leonard Fall Tour!

Many thanks to Laura Preston, who put these shows together, and to the folks in each city who worked hard to pull them off. I'm playing with a band where it's financially feasible and solo otherwise. As well, Eric Peters will be joining me where he is able. I'm actually really excited to get to tell this story in two different ways (solo/band) and hope that you enjoy whichever one is coming near you!

If you've purchased tickets already for these shows, you're set. Your name will be on a "pre-paid" list at the door. Refunds have been sent to those of you in cities where we won't be able to stop this time.

TICKETS ARE NOW ON SALE FOR ALL SHOWS! Links below have been updated, or you can click here.

THANK YOU and I'M EXCITED!!

And PLEASE bring your friends!!
