B D Lenz - Friday 3 April 2026 at The Tower Of Song, Birmingham

B D Lenz
The New York Times says of guitarist B.D. Lenz, "part of the reason for his accessibility is that he not only fuses jazz and rock, he complements it with the warm chords of funk, soul, and rhythm and blues." He has built an international following with his signature blend of contemporary jazz, fusion, and groove-based improvisation. A seasoned performer, Lenz has released over a dozen recordings as a leader and has collaborated with such musical luminaries as Randy Brecker, Mike Stern, Will Lee, and Mark Egan.

Whether playing festivals, intimate clubs, or at prestigious venues, Lenz brings a rare combination of technical command, emotional depth, and audience connection. His music has been featured on hundreds of TV and film placements worldwide including Breaking Bad, Young Sheldon, Catfish, and Chicago Fire.

Originally from New Jersey, Lenz tours extensively throughout the United States, Europe, and the UK - both as a solo artist and with his long-running trio. When he’s not on the road, this Godin-endorsed guitarist is composing for Gramoscope Music, and writing columns for AllAboutJazz.com.
