After recently completing a tour with Blues Traveler, guitar prodigy Jonny Lang is ready to hit the road as a headliner.|

The teenage Lang burst onto the music scene this year and has been heralded as one of the best newcomers in music. In 1997 alone, Lang has toured with the likes of Robert Cray and the legendary "King of the Blues" B.B. King.

Lang kicks off his 1998 tour in Cleveland on Jan. 5 at the Odeon Concert Club. He will be supported by Matthew Ryan on many of the dates. To top things off Lang will open eight shows for the Rolling Stones "Bridges to Babylon" tour. Not too shabby for someone who just got his driver's license this year. (Ari Bendersky)
