Jon Langford has been bringing music and good cheer for more than 25 years, with The Mekons, The Waco Brothers, The Pine Valley Cosmonauts, Three Johns, Killer Shrews, and countless others. His most recent albums include Mayors on the Moon, recorded with The Sadies; The Mekons’ Ooh! (Out of Our Head); The Waco Brothers’ New Deal; and The Executioner’s Last Songs, an anti-death-penalty compilation.

A Sorry Career in the Punk Rock Trenches
Jon Langford presents colorful autobiographical tales, tunes and anecdotes distilled from his multifarious twenty-five year career on the fringes of rock and roll. Through Welsh ranting, lyrical banter and song, Langford delivers a compelling spoken and musical monologue full of punk rock humanism, humor and an astute social conscience.
