Leon Redbone

RIP. I saw you at the tower theater in Philadelphia and maybe the Philadelphia folk festival, but it all runs together these days.

I'm so proud of your accomplishments Leon and very unique style that not a whole lot of people know about.I just love to turn them on to your talented Tin Pan Alley style,most really enjoy the music. Rest in peace sir!

I would sit out on my deck in the country, surrounded by the crickets and insects. In complete darkness I would sit between two large electrostatic speakers and listen to Leon while sipping a cold beer. I swear that he was there. He still is.

2024. Still miss ya

The best. He was the best. Went his concerts and still play him all the time. My kids love him too. He lifts my spirits whenever they need it.

I met Mr. Redbone outside of a show he played in Jacksonville, FL at a place that used to be called Freebird Cafe. He was walking out with his bandmates and stopped to chat with me and my buddy. Such a relaxed and friendly guy and genuinely was happy to run into a couple of fans after the show. I will never forget meeting him. I was glad to have seen him live and to have shaken his hand before he headed on to Miami on that tour.

I am ashamed to say that I recently became aware of this talented, charming and handsome man. I have been enjoying his music from that moment on.. I am so sad that I missed him in this life.. RIP Leon..

Thank you for all the lovely melodies Mr. Redbone. Like you, I feel I was born an era or two, too late! One artist to another. Angel's flight Studio
