The OUTTA SPACE AUGUST ART SHOW features--THE ART & MUSIC of The Legendary JON LANGFORD!!! Welsh rabble-rouser, painter extraordinaire, punk rock pioneer: Jon Langford (born October 11, 1957) is a prolific and well-respected visual artist whose punk rock instincts and unparalleled draftsmanship come together in a painting style that is distinctive, engaging, and challenging. Langford is from Wales but has lived in Chicago since the early 1990's. He was originally the drummer for the punk band The Mekons when it formed at the University of Leeds in 1977, but he later took up the guitar as other band members left. Since the mid-1980s he has been one of the leaders in incorporating folk and country music into punk rock. He has released a number of solo recordings as well as recordings with other bands outside of The Mekons, most notably the Waco Brothers, which he co-founded after moving to Chicago in the early 1990s.
