Leonard Tour: COUNTDOWN TO LIFTOFF!!
Sunday, October 7, 2012 at 11:34PM 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!!

Letters to the Editor, Vol. 2 - FREE FOR ONE WEEK!
Tuesday, September 11, 2012 at 11:39PM 
The second of my "Letters" EPs came out a year after the first.
I played by the same rules, but substituting electric guitars and amps for acoustic guitars.
Still no picks, no other instruments. The only pedal used was my old Deluxe Memory Man.
This FREE EP download also comes with a re-recorded version of a "Leonard" song, done with these rules.
So fun.
It's free from now until Tuesday, Sept 18 when "Leonard, the Lonely Astronaut" finally releases!!
Get it while you can!
And tell your friends!
Leonard Tour : POSTPONED
Tuesday, September 11, 2012 at 10:06PM 
In not-so-exciting news, I'm pushing back my tour about a month, to start in later October.
Sadly, dealing with the rebuilding after our house disaster, (plus having an infant, a record about to release and the 9-to-5 in the studio) has given me no time to pull this tour together.
I'm bummed to have to make this announcement, but I know it's for the best of my family and you guys.
I'd rather play a few less shows, postpone them a bit, and be able to take the time to make them great.
I hope to have new dates up by this time next week. We've got some amazing people working hard to pull these shows together and are in the process of confirming them.
Some will be full-band, some will be solo.
I'm excited for both.
I'm going to start a blog here on the site to chronicle this house stuff, mainly cause I feel I could use the outlet. So stay tuned for that.
Thanks again, everybody.
It's been a pretty rough past couple of months and it's been so encouraging to see your emails/tweets/updates with such kind thoughts about the record, the free EPs and the tour.
THANK YOU.
And stay tuned.
Letters to the Editor, Vol. 1 - FREE FOR ONE WEEK!
Tuesday, September 4, 2012 at 09:37AM 
I released "Letters to the Editor, Vol. I" for free a few years ago. Before Radiohead gave away "In Rainbows". Before NoiseTrade!
It grew to be one of the most successful & rewarding things I've done as a solo artist.
Making it free again seemed like a great way to celebrate my new record, "Leonard, the Lonely Astronaut" releasing Sept 18.
All of these songs were written based on suggestions from fans. Each was recorded with one guitar & my voice, over & over in different parts like a symphony.
As a bonus, this version includes a song from “Leonard” re-recorded with the rules of the “Letters” EP. This EP will be on NoiseTrade for a week. Then, “Letters to the Editor, Vol. II” will take its place, with another “Leonard” song done in that style.
Please download & enjoy both of them! And tell your friends! And check out “Leonard, the Lonely Astronaut” when it touches down Sept 18!
P.S. Any "tips" will go towards the rebuilding of my home, which was totaled this Summer after a major water leak. THANK YOU!
