Jeff Lang

Possessed of a quite staggering technical versatility, Australian guitarist and singer Jeff Lang flits casually from roots and folk to blues, rock and raga – one of his most recent live engagements was a tour of India with tabla player Bobby Singh. Although it took him nearly two decades to make his debut in Japan, he's since become an established fave on the gig circuit, including appearances at Fuji Rock and Asagiri Jam. Whether he's conjuring sitar-esque note runs from a lap steel guitar or playing furious folk stomps on an acoustic, he's a consistently captivating performer. And as an added bonus, gig-goers will get a free CD-R of rare Lang recordings on the door.
