About the artist
Nashville-based, Melbourne born folk-country rocker Jordie Lane, is a seasoned road warrior, touring Australia, North Americana and Europe and sharing the stage with legendary acts like Billy Bragg, Gotye, Old Crow Medicine Show, The Moody Blues, Neko Case among others, and has found his place as one of Australia’s modern day storytelling greats!
After a series of sold out shows in 2025, and additions to many best-of-lists and Main Stage appearances at Australia’s Woodford and Port Fairy Folk festivals, Lane re-emerges in 2026 with the album ‘Habitual’. The follow-up to his 2024 ARIA Country Chart No.1 album Tropical Depression, signaling a clear shift in approach—more immediate, more physical, and driven by the energy of live performance. Lane enlisted producer LOLLIES and bunkered down in Nashville’s ‘The Bomb Shelter’ to record live to analog tape with a full band. The sessions focused on capturing real shared moments as they happened, rather than constructing songs piece by piece. The result is a raw, unfiltered country-rock sound—with tape hiss, crunch, and grit—paired with the spontaneity and momentum that underpin Lane’s live shows and creative essence.
