Jonny Lang with Special Guest Moreland & Arbuckle

Jonny Lang has a message for you. Sure, he has been in touch before, speaking often with his guitar in the language of deep blues and searing rock and roll, but Turn Around is different. The guitar is still there, whispering sometimes, occasionally even screaming. Now, though, it is just one voice in a chorus of sounds - the tight band, the passionate singing and lyrics that conjure beauty.
The Grammy winning, former prodigy instrumentalist, who topped the Billboard New
Artist chart with his first album at age 15, stands now as a mature creative force, made more sensitive yet also toughened by life's adventures. He has learned what it means to rise above hard times to find meaning where chaos seemed to rule. Turn Around is the pivotal album of Jonny Lang's career-to-date. It is a passage that links the triumphs of his past to the promise of his future.
The message of Jonny Lang: To Turn Around, you move ahead. It's that simple - and powerful.
Moreland & Arbuckle
Moreland and Arbuckle may warm their hands around traditional blues flames, but this wily Kansas band's forte is sneaking into the brush to ignite their own original music blazes. What roars forth is a rare combustion of musical alchemy; kinetic, charismatic and infinitely interesting.
I think our sound is a direct reflection of our listening." comments Aaron Moreland about the group's mish mash style." We dig Led Zeppelin as much as Little Walter, the Sex Pistols as much as Hank Sr. Bits and pieces of every genre we adore are incorporated in the music we write and perform.
Moreland and Arbuckle work perfectly as Dustin Arbuckle's gritty, unfettered vocals and sneering harp dovetail effortlessly with Aaron Moreland's panoply of strings. Add Brad Horner's propulsive drum chops, and the result is music with an un-contrived sense of energy and magnetism. The authentic songwriting shines, creating scenes that are cinematic as well as earthy and encompassing.
Moreland and Arbuckle respect traditional influences, but are constantly crashing and bashing musical tinker toys to build their own unique designs. In a landscape of pigeon holes and stale music rehash, Moreland and Arbuckle are plying and perfecting a new vein of sound; soulfully sincere, eloquently bright and ready to rock.
