Twang City Presents: John Surge, Grant Langston, and Will Hawkins

John Surge is a mix of California country with Texas twang. A longtime member of Los Angeles' roots-rock community, he has spent countless nights onstage, filling the room with a blend of roadhouse country and rocking honky tonk. He has never been afraid to explore the full range of his musical influences. John emphasizes his country leanings with his seconnd album Almost Time. It's a collection of stories from the bar — a place where relationships start, stop, fire, and fizzle — delivered by a singer/songwriter who's logged plenty of time in the country's watering holes. Surge remains a loyal citizen of Los Angeles, but Almost Time widens his horizons, offering up a version of raw, rootsy country music that's informed not by the city in which it was created, but by the songwriter himself.
