Jonny Lang supports his 'Turn Around'

Singer/guitarist Jonny Lang is getting ready to hit the trail once again this winter/spring with a month's worth of US dates on the books starting Feb. 16 in Honolulu, HI.

After a couple of shows on the Islands, Lang will focus on the East Coast and South for the rest of trek, which currently wraps March 17 in Houston.

The guitar prodigy continues to support his fifth album, "Turn Around," which comprises gospel, country, funk, jazz and folk influences. The set, released in September, chronicles Lang's spiritual transformation after dealing with the pressures of stardom. The record is being marketed to mainstream and Christian audiences.

"It wasn't so long ago that I was spiraling downward in a lot of ways, until God touched my life and set me on the right track," Lang said in a statement. "I feel a huge debt to give glory back to Him for everything He has done for me. It's the least I can do."

Lang co-wrote the 14 songs on "Turn Around" with collaborators including Grammy winners Drew Ramsey and Shannon Sanders, as well as five-time Grammy winner Steven Curtis Chapman. Guest appearances on the album include Michael McDonald, Sam Bush, Buddy Miller and Nickel Creek violinist Sara Watkins.

"Turn Around" is vying for a Grammy in the Best Rock or Rap Gospel Album category at next month's ceremony. Songs from the record are streaming at Lang's website and his MySpace page.
