To listen to Jonny Lang’s music is one thing. To see him perform live is something else altogether. Vulnerable and formidable at the same time, he has a powerful stage presence. Perhaps that stems from a certain authenticity or maybe it’s just about giving himself over to the music in a way that few can.
Jonny Lang, a name synonymous with the term “young gun” launched a mind-blowing, platinum career the day before his sixteenth birthday with his hit album "Lie to Me." He's been called a prodigy, a virtuoso, and a once-in-a-generation blues artist. Whatever label you apply, his extraordinary talent is the real thing. Two decades later, Lang now 38, has proven that not only do blues men endure the test of time, but they get better with age.
HAS TOURED WITH: Rolling Stones, Buddy Guy, BB King, Aerosmith, Jeff Beck, Sting and appears regularly as part of the Experience Hendrix tour.
