Grant Langston
Los Angeles, CA
For Grant Langston the story is the thing. The honky tonking, the California country music helps make it fun, but when they're mopping up the dance floor at the end of the night he wants the songs to matter. "I spent a lot of time making music where I was screaming and yelling," referring to his 20-something grunge rock past. " At some point you want to tell a story and make something that can touch people. - make them laugh or make them cry."
His music a blend of California honky tonk, Texas boogie, with some dirty southern rock thrown in for flavor. Langston is mash-up. Born and stamped with a Alabama southerness that won't wash away. Living in California now, and taking that tradition to heart. Equal parts Lyle Lovett, Billy Gibbons, Jamie Johnson, Glen Campbell, and Dwight Yoakam.
