Jonny Lang appears Wednesday, March 25th 2015 at Uptown Theatre Napa. Jonny Lang was the last of a string of blues guitarists to rise to national stardom at an incredibly young age. After learning to play the guitar at 12, Lang’s father took him to see the Bad Medicine Blues Band, and Ted Larsen the band’s guitar player started teaching young Lang more complicated guitar techniques. Before long Lang joined the band and was renamed Kid Jonny Lang & The Big Bang, they moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota, U.S. and independently released their debut album Smokin’. The release became a local hit and led to a frenzy of major-labels seeking Lang’s signature, who eventually signed to A&M in 1996.

Lang’s major label debut entitled Lie to Me was released in 1997 and is a multi-platinum certified record. The album’s follow-up Wander This World released in 1998 included his typical blues style along with element of Southern rock and soul, the album received good reviews across the board and even earned the musician his first Grammy nomination. Jonny Lang will be playing music from his string of hits and his latest Fight For My Soul album at Uptown Theatre in Downtown Napa on Wednesday March 25th at 8pm. Jonny Lang continues to play to sold out crowds across the country and tickets can be purchased at www.uptowntheatrenapa.com.
