Adding sass to the smoky, sultry sounds of a bygone era, Lanie Lane (pronounced "Lannie") is an undeniable talent who draws on the past and plants it very firmly in the here and now. Imbued with the spirit of Muddy Waters, and channeling the grit of Billie Holiday, Lanie Lane wraps the sounds of a golden age around a voice that is as rich and warm as it is sweet. Her delivery is distinct - earthy, with the elbow grease to get the job done, but tied up with a colourful ribbon and handed over with grace and charm. Lanie's debut album is set to take her timeless sound and irrepressible presence to a whole new level this year. Get ready.
