Leon continues to write songs, record, and thrill audiences on his non-stop tour across the U.S. In November 2005, he also toured Japan. Leon's son Teddy Jack and daughters Sugaree and Tina Rose have all been in his band and toured with him. His bass player, Jack Wessel, has been in his band for 26 years.

Leon's musical style is still resonating with his lifelong fans and is inspiring younger listeners who are discovering his music from either the 'Mad Dogs & Englishmen' or 'Concert For Bangladesh' DVDs.
