Tony Memmel played a show in Madison, WI last night and it was awesome.
I could basically end the post there, but I won’t.
It was a blast to connect with Tony again and finally meet his beautiful and talented wife, Lesleigh! They are just such kind and down-to-earth people. Plus, his beard…I’m so jealous. My wife and I brought our kids to meet them, too, and it was priceless to see my son Sam watching Tony’s every move. And later, my wife would say to me, “I wish we lived closer. They’re so great. Plus, I have about a MILLION questions for Lesleigh! She’s the only woman I know who is also married to a one-armed man!” Love it.

Tony’s performance was fantastic. He made Redamté Coffee House his home and made us all feel comfortable. He even played One Week to Philadelphia, just like I “asked” him to! (I demanded it on Facebook, actually) Lesleigh sang with him on a few of the songs and their voices blend beautifully. The tour was sponsored by the Lucky Fin Project and Tony gave a nice plug and thank you from the stage, which was really cool. I hope to have video of the concert up soon!
After his performance, Tony graciously agreed to do a short interview for LOH. Enjoy!
Connect with Tony at his website, on Facebook and on Twitter!
Also, join the LOH fun on Facebook and Twitter.
UPDATE: See Tony’s FULL PERFORMANCE here! I’ve also made separate videos for each song. Enjoy!
Thank you so much, Ryan! It was such a pleasure to spend the evening with you and your family. Let’s get together again soon!
Have a great evening,
Tony Memmel
