"In a world where music is diluted by money and plasticine, give thanks that Jeff Lang is out there... He paints pictures in sound” Beat Magazine

Jeff has a back catalogue of 13 studio albums and has been featured at major festivals, pubs, clubs, arts centres and venues internationally for the past decade.Blending rock, roots, folk, blues, ballads, instrumentals, improvisation and a devastatingly high level of musicality, Jeff Lang is a singularly unique performer in our world.

Jeff has been showered with many achievements and awards in his life, the most outstanding would be his six Aria award nominations as well as his win in 2002

Lang has built up a devoted almost cult-like following with his live performances. Working without a set list, allowing the unique energy in each night to shape the songs and taking the audience along for his ride has seen word of mouth bloom into a successful career for Lang.  

It’s been widely acknowledged that Jeff Lang is an extraordinarily individual musician. What enhances his unique nature is his steadfast adherence to a prolific and diverse musical palette and output. A songwriter, a collaborator, a virtuosic guitarist and a stunning lyricist; Jeff Lang crafts songs as novellas… rich with depth and vision, yet with an open breath for individual interpretation. 

2007 was an action packed year for Jeff Lang. Three albums licensed worldwide, two released in Australia, too many local and overseas tours to count, Aria nominations and the honour of being the Artist in residence of the inaugural Adelaide International Guitar Festival.  

2008 will see the worldwide release of Jeff’s new studio recording; Half Seas Over.
