JONNY LANG IN CONCERT:
Acclaimed blues singer and axeman Jonny Lang is a true guitar player's guitarist, a legend among fingerpickers around the world for his ferocious playing and virtuosic technique. From his days as a teenage prodigy performing for Bill Clinton to his stints on tour with legends like B.B. King and Aerosmith, Lang has proven himself to be an electrifying performer, as adept on originals like "Lie to Me" as he is covering class acts like Stevie Wonder and Edgar Winters. Taking the stage with his signature bluesy croon and trusty Fender Telecaster guitar, Lang is set to stun on his upcoming US tour dates.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Born in Fargo, North Dakota, Lang took up the guitar at age 12. By his early teens, he was skilled enough to join his guitar teacher's band, which was renamed Kid Jonny Lang & The Big Bang in his honor. After signing to A&M records at age 16 he released his 1997 solo debut Lie to Me, a critical and commercial success that landed on the Billboard 200 and went multi-platinum. 1998 follow-up Wander this World was a similar success, cracking the US Top 40 and earning him a Grammy nomination. In 2013, he topped the Blues Albums chart with his sixth studio album Fight for My Soul, also reaching No. 2 on the Christian Albums chart. A fiery performer with skill to spare, Lang will continue to deliver big on his upcoming tour dates.
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
"Jonny Lang blew me away the entire show. His guitar playing is remarkable. His voice is so soulful, you can tell he feels every word that he sings."
"What a talent! Just oozes out of him. It was so great to just watch him play. He seems to love it so much. This was an awesome show."
"If you have never seen Jonny Lang you are missing one of the true masters of the Ax. One of the highlights was his rendition of Stevie Wonder's hit 'Living For the City.' Stevie would have been proud."
The venue is great....but staff not that great. Jonny played a really good show but, other than BB King, it was the shortest show I've seen in years. Really enjoyed the playlist of Jonny classics but would have enjoyed it more if it had been a bit longer. Overall, fun night!
Jonny always plays with his heart and soul. Total show length was just over 1 hour, which was my only disappointment.
I’ve seen Jonny 4 times in the last 2 years. 2 in San Antonio and 2 in Phoenix. Great venue here in Chandler. This was the best!
Smaller venue. Loved it! Jonny as always made it the best experience. The acoustics were great. Very enjoyable!
Incredible performance by both but just as everyone finally was getting seated, after only 4or5 songs from the Opener, there was a 15 minute intermission. It seemed ridiculous. Otherwise loved it!
Great performance but he only played for 70 minutes. Posted time in the lobby said it should have been 95.
His live sound is exactly as is on CD which is great but- he would not look at the audience and only played one of his more popular songs. The opening act was good.
One of the best shows I have seen! Jonny Lang is a true professional. He was so humble In acknowledging the crowd and you can tell how grateful he is for the opportunity. He had the crowd rocking!
one of the best concerts, Jonny Lang is full of talent and energy!
I am a major fan of EARLY Jonny Lang ... bluesy, Grammy-winning arrangements. This was NONE of that. Harsh, shrill distortion, feedback ... NO melody... totally unrecognizable performance. This very talented band has morphed into some strange, fusion, “jazz?” improv experiment. Really disappointing.
I love Jonny Lang, great energy on stage, great guitarist, great band. But I felt the show was short, and having seen Jonny several times, I felt his set list is too the same. Not enough of his new stuff, if he added a few more of his new songs to the set he played it would have been better.
We LOVE J.J. Grey and Mofro and will probably go see them anytime they play close to where we live. I realize J.J. has recently released a CD with music a little more somber than what he would normally play (in our experience). I guess the problem is that we fell in love with them as kind of a "party" band with rocky-bluesy music and that's what we like best about this group. But we won't stop following their tours and going to see them again. As for Jonny Lang, I'm very respectful of his long career in music. His blues performance was very passionate and dramatic. I think that by the time he came onstage, we had seen J.J. Grey and were just tired and didn't have adequate enthusiasm for Jonny's talents!
This show was amazing. Marc Broussard opened and was Rock Steady from opening to the close of his set. JJ Grey and Moro laid down a challenge for the evening and the set they delivered was spiritual and soul moving. Johnny Lang gave a solid performance that rocked the evening to a perfect end...
Both shows were wonderful! Highly recommend seeing them in concert. House of Blues made the experience a nice up close show that was enjoyable and memorable!
Everything was great! Seamless entry. Informative staff. Bar well staffed. Show was one of the best!
JJ Grey & the Mofro Rocked the House Of Blues!! Great intimate venue to highlight the sound and energy. I wish I could have put the night on repeat :)
love jj grey marc broussard the rose center is nice place
Jonny was wonderful and the concert was a beautiful experience.
This was an outstanding event. From start to finish: the venue is a great venue with convenient parking. The lineup was incredible and from the first note from Marc Broussard to everything from JJ Grey and Mofro and finally Jonny Lang: incredible!!
This was one of the best concerts I have been to. All 3 acts were amazing! Great Music and Venue
