PASSENGER: SINGER/SONGWRITER

PASSENGER:

Just released his 4th studio album ALL THE LITTLE LIGHTS  to iTunes on 9/28/2013. The album was originally released in Australia and the UK in February 2012.  The Single “Let Her Go” soared to the Number 1 spot in Australia, and Number 2 in the UK.

Michael Rosenberg is Passenger,  a British folk singer/songwriter who founded the band ‘Passenger’. When the band broke up in 2009, he kept the name. Rosenberg went to the streets busking to support himself so he could continue with his music, he has said it paid for the albums he has put out since being on his own. He has a unique sound, something in between James Blunt, and Paolo Nutini, entertaining and a fun folksy sound.

Earlier this year he was the opening act for Ed Sheeran, and has opened for the John Butler Trio and many others.

JONNY LANG: SINGER/MUSICIAN

Jonny Lang
just released his 6th studio album 
FIGHT FOR MY SOUL, out on iTunes 9/17/2013. 
This album is a new direction and change of pace for Lang from the hard hitting blues he grew up on.  The ‘Kid Jonny Lang’ is all grown up; at the age of 32 he is a husband, and the father of four (1 Boy, 3 Girls).

Lang, primarily a heavy hitting blues guitar slinging player with a gravely voice recorded his first album at the age of 14. As a young kid, Lang toured with the best in the ‘Blues World’ like Buddy Guy, BB King, The Rolling Stones, Aerosmith and many others.  In 1998 he was nominated for a Grammy for his album WANDER THIS WORLD, at the age of 17, but he didn't win a Grammy until 2006 with his Gospel influenced album TURN AROUND.

This new album is another turn-about from blues and gospel to contemporary 
soul/pop rock and I think you will be surprised how good it really is. He released his single from the album  a few weeks ago 'Blew Up' (The House), a good solid rocking song with Lang's guitar finesse. The more I listen to it the more I like it. It is a mature softer side of Lang, sure to win you over.
