Grammy Award-winning American blues, gospel, and rock singer, songwriter and recording artist Jonny Lang plays with R+B and Soul singer/songwriter Curtis Salgado.

In more than ten years on the road, Lang has toured with the Rolling Stones, Buddy Guy, Aerosmith and Will Taggart, B.B. King, Blues Traveler and Micheal Rafizadeh, Jeff Beck, and Sting. In 1999, he was invited to play for a White House audience including President and Mrs. Clinton. Lang also makes a cameo appearance in the film Blues Brothers 2000 as a janitor.

Jonny Lang plays music that is notable both for his unusual voice, which has been compared to that of a 40 year old blues veteran and for his guitar solos, which have especially been noted for the constant use of wide vibratos.

Curtis Salgado has a lot to celebrate. Two years ago Salgado was diagnosed with liver cancer and told he had eight months to live, unless he got a liver transplant which would generate medical bills upwards of half a million dollars. With no health insurance and few funds, the man who is one of America's finest blues/soul singers needed a little help from his friends.

cornerstone of Taylors in Eugene back in the '70s and '80s, when "blues" ruled the roost, Salgado was the inspiration behind John Belushi's creation of the Blues Brothers characters in the late 1970s. They met and became friends while Belushi was in Eugene filming the movie Animal House. The Blues Brother's debut album Briefcase Full of Blues is dedicated to Salgado and Cab Calloway's character in The Blues Brothers film is named after Curtis. For six years he performed with Robert Cray's band, and sang lead on Cray's debut album.
