Who is the guy with the guitar? Help...


Does anyone know who the blonde guy with the guitar is that plays and sings at "Ed's Love Exchange"? (The scene where they're at phone company place)

i think your talking about Johnny Lang

I was trying to figure this out, too! I thought it was Kenny Wayne Shepherd.

reply

Nope, it's definitely Johnny Lang.

Johnny Lang gave me quite a surprise. I'd never heard of him until BB2K. The guitar work was impressive enough, but as soon as he started singing, I was quite literally blown away. I almost fell out of my chair.

reply

Up until now I always thought that Lang was playbacking what the other 2 singers were singing. That really was him doing his own singing? Holy crap.

reply

I just did a search and figured out his name has no 'h' in it - 'tis just Jonny Lang.

reply

sorry, my bad on the name

reply

or you could have just looked at the credits that play after the film and you would have saw it was johnny lang

I am glad I am not the only person who confused Johnny Lang and Kenny Wayne Shepherd.

I really thought Lang was going to be a big star, but his music was probably not commercial enough for that.

Around the year 2000 there was a teenage girl named Shannon Curfman who sang and played blues guitar like nobody's business. She was friends with Johnny Lang and also from his home state of North Dakota. She took a break from music for about five years possibly to attend college and returned around 2006. In 2010 she joined Kid Rock's band as a singer and guitar player.

Elizafan is right. I wonder how many of you actually checked the credits.

reply

His name is Jonny Lang and he was only 17 when he played in BB2k. Ir so I've heard. Anyways he is an exellent singer, and a incredible guitar player.

reply
