Jonny Lang

Jonny Lang

Jonny Lang released his first album when he was just 16...and he's basically been on the road since then.(Tourin' with BB King,the Stones & Blues Traveler etc.) AS well as headlining around the world.

"Ever since I can remember I’ve wanted to be involved in music" said Lang, "playing it, being around it, anything. I’d be happy playing on a street corner, probably happier in a lot of ways just because there are so many stresses that go along with selling a lot of albums."

Ex-band-mate and teacher Ted Larsen exposed Jonny to the blues. "When I started playing guitar, Ted said ‘Just plug your cord straight into your amp and don’t go through any pedals’" Lang recalled "’You don’t need that stuff.’ As time went on, I used some effects, but I’ve slimmed it down a lot. It’s a simple kind of full and dirty sound."

Jonny Lang is the total package: a seemingly boundless talent matched by the desire to continually feed his creative fires and a self-awareness rare in adults, let alone teenagers. To quote the late Luther Allison, "Jonny Lang has the power to move the music into the next millennium by reaching the ears of a new generation. The great musicians have the power to break all of the ‘isms’ -race, age, sex, etc. Jonny Lang is one of those musicians."
