Lang Termes grew up with a visual artist father and spent summers touring with his

puppeteer mother. He was surrounded by artists, musicians, writers and performers

of all description from the day he was born. He has been playing professionally most

of his life. His vocal style ranges from mellow folk ballads to growling boogie blues.

Lang’s style of song writing, both original music and lyrics, comes deep from the

heart, or in some cases, bubbles up from his whimsical sense of irony. His selection

of covers ranges from early country blues to the full gambit of contemporary

classics. Lang plays music in a wide variety of styles. Some of his biggest influences

include: Muddy Waters, Woody Guthrie, Bruce Springsteen, Eddie Vedder, Huddie

(Ledbelly) Ledbetter, Townes Van Zandt, John Lee Hooker, Tom Waits, Greg Brown

and Josh Ritter.
