Here are some comments from people who attended the 2012 Roadshow Bootcamp: 

“I wish I had known ten years ago [when i was touring] there was someone you could pay to teach you this stuff.” - Justin Long, signed/touring artist under Atlantic Records

“Thanks again for an amazing experience, we’ll definitely recommend it to others next year” – Bop Skizzum’s manager 

“This was an incredible experience that I hope to be able to do again.” – Jodi Geditz, vocalist

“It was a great learning experience to see and hear other band’s songs being “made over” The experience solidified the content and gave me even more understanding of the process and benefits of live music producing.” – Marty Astry, lead singer of Driving Karma 

“Lang’s teachings always exceed my expectations because its so surprising to realize how much I miss when watching a performance.” – Duffy Lasker, drummer of Driving Karma

“Thanks so very much for creating that fantastic educational opportunity in the form of your boot camp. I learned soooooo much and found it very inspiring (though a tad daunting as well). Your guest speakers were all great.” – Jewell Hill, vocalist 

“Since I was already familiar with Tom’s techniques (from the videos, backstage pass info) I knew what to expect. The most outstanding part to me was watching Bop Skizzum. They are already polished and entertaining, so I was really impressed with the massive improvement I saw when Lang worked with them.” – Lara Jai, harpist and vocalist

About Lang Bliss

Lang first learned about being onstage while touring the US and Australia, doing an average of 500 shows per year over a four-year time span, as well as having toured with major artists for over 20 years.

As a certified Live Music Producer for Tom Jackson Productions, Lang wants to pass on his knowledge, training, and experience to other artists!

Lang has worked as a drummer, producer, programmer, songwriter and arranger in the music industry with Michael W. Smith, Shaun Groves, Michael McDonald, and The Henningsens (recently signed to Sony Records Nashville) to name a few.

Amid a busy schedule, Lang teamed up with former Reunion Records recording artist Reneé Garcia, a vocalist with Amy Grant for three tours, to create the album project “BLISS BLISS.” The album’s 12 songs were penned by Lang and Reneé, and one song, “Fight For Peace,” went to #1 nationally. They released their second project, Life So Far, earlier this year with the first single, “See The Light” finding airplay at Smooth Jazz and Smooth AC radio around the country.

Here’s what others say about Lang:

“Working with Lang was a great experience. His instincts were spot on, and he shares his knowledge in such a helpful, creative way. I honestly can’t imagine preparing for another tour without him!” Francesca Battistelli, Dove Award winner

“Working with Lang was life changing. I can’t describe how much confidence I gained for my live performance. In 2 hours Lang broke through barriers that have held me back for years. How blessed I am that our paths met! I plan on booking more hours with Lang soon.” Steve Doan, Gospel artist, Cheyenne label

“We worked on our show with Lang in preparation for a private showcase for a major Nashville label. We had a great time custom designing our show and working on arrangements with Lang. His advice was a real help! Oh, by the way… we got the record deal!”Brian HenningsenThe Henningsens, Sony Records Nashville

Lang and his wife Reneé own and operate Diff’rent Wirld Productions, a studio and artist/media/ministry development company. They have 2 sons, Zane 13, and Niles 11.
