Jonny Lang Review

Britne — Tue, 27 May 2008 05:18:18 +0000

Brian and I went to St. Louis this weekend to see Night Ranger at the Rib America festival. We bought VIP seating so we were 4 rows from the stage. Awesome seats! The performer scheduled to play before Night Ranger was Jonny Lang. We had never heard of him, so we looked at his website to see who he was. Apparently he has won a grammy and started playing guitar when he was 12. We decided to go down to the Soldier’s Memorial Park early so we could catch his show. Boy are we glad we did!

We talked to a few people while we were waiting in line for food and when we asked if they were there for the Night Ranger show they said “No, Jonny Lang.” Our curiosity was definitely peaked. Who is this kid??

A DJ from KSHE 95 named Katie Kruze came out on stage to introduce Jonny Lang and she was saying that someone brought her his CD 10 years ago and told her to play it. She wondered why because the picture on the back was of a kid. She played the CD and within seconds she was running down the hall telling everyone that they had to listen to this kid. The show started and this skinny, young white guy comes out on stage and starts playing the guitar and singing the blues. WOW!! You would never expect that voice to come out of that body, and he can sure play the guitar.

This was the most moving live performance I have ever seen. It was like he wasn’t just playing music, he feels the music, he is the music. His eyes are closed most of the time and his facial expressions are so intense. All the other musicians on the stage with him were amazing too. He had a bass player, guitar, drums, keyboard (organ) and a back up vocalist. I do not know their names except the bass player whose name was Jim Anton. There was so much talent on that stage. I am so glad that we did not miss that show. We will definitely watch for Jonny Lang to come around here again.
