Jonny Lang

I might be jinxing myself-but dare I say I MIGHT be going to see this man in August? I got a google alert yesterday that he is headlining with George Thorogood for a couple of shows, one in Grand Rapids Michigan, at some garden that has a summer concert series, which is a couple hour drive from here. Larry told me to get tickets. They go on sale May 16 for only $62.00 each. That's only a couple $$s more than what we paid last month to see George alone at the casino over here. I did a little research and the place looks really cool but they sometimes sale out pretty fast. My only worry is the concert is the week before we take our son down to Bloomington for college and so I don't know if we should go away. Larry says I'm crazy if I think I will be spending that much time with him before he leaves because he will be far to busy with his friends to spend time with his Mom. Thanks Lar!

He's got some licks and chops don't he! I think Jonny's Maw done fed him gravel when he was growing up. Stroke of genius! Payoff is NOW with that ultra bluesy vocal he has. Usually takes 40 years of heavy smoking and several cases of Old Crow to accomplish that! But gravel obviously does it faster! Love IT!

I was surprised to see him playing a Gibson ES-335.

I remember when I first him on the radio when Lie To Me came out, I loved his voice and later when I found a magazine article on him, couldn't believe that voice came from a kid. I remember they described his voice as "the 14 year old kid with the 20 year smoking habit."

Mike-I actually knew that was a Gibson (didn't know the magic#'s tho) thanks to your tutorial for me when I asked about the "large" guitars that the blues artists tend to use. I do know that I think it's really purty!

Found out yesterday that Jonny is coming to Merrillville Indiana in November which is only about an hour away from me. On a Saturday night no less so that makes it mighty convenient. Now to be patient to get decent seats (as long as nothing goes wrong). So far I don't see anything else going on that weekend but that never guarantees anything around here.

Oh you must go - I'm sure it will be a great show. Lucky you.

Like I said on facebook, SO jealous!!! Have you heard his cover of "When Love Comes To Town" with Joss Stone? Wow do they go good together!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Could you have a more perfect duo? Two young peeps with voices way beyond their age. lol It's on the Herbie Hancock "Possibilities" album from 2006. Don't know how I missed it. lol

[TimothyBFan]

Have it loaded onto the ipod! It's a great version!! She is fantastic also isn't she? Try hearing her version of Son Of A Preacher Man--It will blow you away!!

[Maleah]

Yep, I've heard it! Absolutely incredible!!

I was just watching this video of some of Jonny's live guitar solo's:

How does he not get more attention for the amazing guitarist he is???????????????????????

[TimothyBFan]

I've often wondered that myself! He is just incredible and then when you factor in the age, it's truly amazing how talented he is at such a young age.
