Goode's Armadillo Palace is proud to welcome James Lann. 

A fifth generation cowboy, James Lann has traded in a rope and a saddle for a guitar and a song. Now equipped with Honky Tonk Kung Fu, his second album, Lann has completed a transformation from young new artist to esteemed songwriter and performer, a transformation that has been a long hard road. Brandishing a sweet country croon and the natural ability to write catchy dancehall anthems, Lann made his first break opening for such acts as Darryl Worley, Clay Walker, Chris Ledoux, Wade Bowen, and Pat Green among many others. Lann honed his talent with his band playing dance halls and honky tonks in Texas and across the West.

James likes to write “songs that can change your life, songs that can make you think.” As well, he appreciates a good ole honky tonk anthem. So on his latest release you’ll find songs he wrote, songs he co-wrote, and songs that friends wrote. The new record, “Honky Tonk Kung Fu” is a culmination of the last year playing on the road and living the dream. This album is a roller coaster ride filled with the ups and downs of life.

A down home country boy, James Lann is easy going but fired up with determination and some would say a pure stubborn streak. The excitement and energy coming off the stage from his band can be felt as Lann winds up and lets his songs fly out of the shoot. But don’t forget your dancing shoes! This cowboy is keeping it country.
