For the third consecutive year Leonid and Friends have made the trip to Okoboji to entertain us at the Pearson Lakes Art Center. The fact that they did two shows this year and both were sold out shows how good they are and what a solid fan base they have.
The group was founded by Leonid Vorobyev who hails from Siberia. The band consists of 11 fine Russian musicians. However, one was absent so they had a guest bongos player, Titus Langar. He was really good too.
