QUOTES/REVIEWS:
“What a great discovery! Jordie Lane sounds like he’s absorbed the works of the great songwriters and is now able to speak with the same authority in his own music.
Jeff Lang (2007)

“When you listen Jordie Lane’s songs, you’ll hear he has one of those classic voices. In some tracks, you can hear the velvety timbre of Leonard Cohen. In others, it’s the jokey snideness of Loudon Wainwright lll, or the country whipped vocals of Willie Nelson.”
Benjamin Law, Frankie Magazine (issue 25, 2008)

"From the opening words of his heartfelt, simple Sweet Somebody to the final notes of Died lookin’ at you I felt like I was on a journey somewhere between Hank Williams and Ryan Adams, somehow familiar and yet wonderfully new"
Fasterlouder.com.au(live at Toff In Town,30/08/2007)

"We recently did an Australian Americana special here on AmericanaOK. The inspiration for the show was the stunning Jordie Lane seven track EP “Lover’s Ride”. Every track on this self released EP is a gem. Each of the seven tracks seems to represent a strand of Americana from gorgeous Townes Van Zandt type ballads to Gram Parsons style country soul. If you want to hear one of the very best Americana records of recent years listen to this. You wont be disappointed but may be surprised that it comes from Melbourne, Australia rather than Austin Texas."
Americana Ok (2007)

"Like two lovers dancing hip to hip, Jordie Lane's Lovers Ride seduces with the cuts Bottle of Her Love and Sweet Somebody. His vocals conjure up hints of Jeff Buckley, Gram Parsons and Jimmie Rodgers. (Yes the man can yodel and it is a very sexy one at that). The rockers Old Quarter Town and Drunk on Love (with Liz Stringer) kick up the passion and hits a celebratory groove. High & lonesome, vulnerable and sexy. My only complaint is that he lives half-way around the world (sigh)"
Joan Hathaway, Three Ring Circus, WMBR, Boston

"We caught the last three songs of local songster, Jordie Lane, who we caught with his full band at Port Fairy a couple of months ago, and while it was just him on his own tonight with guitar and harmonica, it still served to show his talent in the singer / songwriter vein. His voice is solid and clear, his mastery of his instrument deluxe"
Sam Fell(Live Review from Northcote Social Club) May 5, 2007

“Such a number of credible sources have been advising me to check out Jordie Lane that when Lane himself sent me a number of demo recordings he’d just made, my ears immediately pricked up. I was not disappointed. Lane has developed a brand of music unique to Australia, one that has one foot firmly planted in the traditions of candid country-folk music, whilst the other foot steps across boundaries, unafraid to visit contemporary themes.”
Martin Jones
Managing Editor, Rhythms magazine
Staff Writer, Drum/Inpress(2008)

“Jordie Lane is at the forefront of Australia's exciting neo-folk movement. He writes with a maturity beyond his years, his performance firmly grounded, his songs poetic and wistful. As a live performer he demands our attention with the seriousness and gravity of his material. He follows in the footsteps of Bob Dylan, Richard Thompson and others from that golden era of folk and fills those shoes admirably.”
Anne McCue, 2008

now and then an artist comes along that blows you away, Jordie Lane is one such artist. On "Lovers Ride”, Jordie proves he is fast becoming one of our finest singer songwriters
Colin Fielding 3INR Melbourne

“Outstanding writer man. This country needs to have some culture brought into it. Jordie Lane is one out of the box.”
Lloyd Spiegal, Blues Guitarist

"A truly amazing artist, emotive songwriter and performer. Jordie Lane writes the songs you wish you had written. Flaws me every time!"
Jaimi Faulkner (2007)

“A quality songwriter… he will make a profound mark on the Australian musical landscape”
David Bridie

“Lane touched listeners with his earnest tales of love and loss, and humbled us with his gentle demeanor…capturing all with the raw emotion of his performance”
Beat Magazine, 28/3/07

“Exceptionally talented singer and guitarist”
The Chaser

“With his smoky graveled voice and fine guitar playing, Lane does a great line in natural charm”
Lily Bragge, The Age

“If Ryan Adams ‘Love is Hell’ was wandering down an alleyway, and was seduced by Bob Dylan’s ‘Blood on the Tracks’, Jordie Lane’s music would be the illegitimate child”
Dave Bushell

WEDNESDAY: JORDIE LANE @ BAR OPEN (CACTUS)
The minute I get upstairs, I realise they're playing 'The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance' on the big screen with the sound turned down. This is a film I studied when I was at uni and I could hear John Wayne in my head saying, "Duuuude." Not like Keanu Reeves, but.
Anyway, the two supports were a little dull, but Jordie and his full band made you wanna git yer boot scooters on and howl at the moon or something. It's that kind of country blues you just know might break your heart, but will ultimately soothe your soul, a little rough, but it's what makes it all the more sublime. He's got some gigs coming up in the lead up to the Port Fairy Folk Festival, so search him out
Nyssa Jayne, For the love and the sound 28/feb 2007

When Ireland’s Luka Bloom was asked what music he liked this time round on his 2007 Australian tour he replied: “ I really like Jordie Lane” .

"When you listen Jordie Lane’s songs, you’ll hear he has one of those classic voices. In some tracks, you can hear the velvety timbre of Leonard Cohen. In others, it’s the jokey snideness of Loudon Wainwright lll, or the country whipped vocals of Willie Nelson”.
- Benjamin Law, Frankie Magazine

Melbourne’s Jordie Lane announces the release of his much anticipated debut album Sleeping Patterns, released on 12 June 2009.

After four years brewing in the sub-conscious of Jordie’s mind, the record eventually came to fruition in the winter of 2008. Recorded live in little more than five days in the open warehouse space called Adelphia in Melbourne, Sleeping Patterns is a raw and gutsy, but also at times fragile and dark collection of tales that cannot be put simply onto one particular shelf.

With the assistance of a Vic Rocks Recording Grant, Jordie was able to have the imaginative minds of renowned roots artist Jeff Lang and the pop sensibilities of Tim Hall on board to co-produce the album, with their trusty engineer Mick Wordley behind the console. Jeff and Tim’s approach was to build a sonic landscape that hung around each song and in particular Jordie’s words always at the core.

Over the past few years he has become a much talked about up-and-comer by the press and punters alike. Much of this would be attributed to his tireless dedication to playing live shows and festivals, but also his collaboration with Canadian songwriter Tracy McNeil under the guise Fireside Bellows, who are still receiving stunning accolades for the 2008 release No Time To Die.
With his unique finger-style guitar, blues harmonica and a commanding voice, Jordie’s love for American folk, blues and country music such as Dylan, Townes Van Zandt, Hank Williams and Gillian Welch are evident in his sound. But he’s not trying to re-hash anything. He’s telling his stories, about his experiences. And he does so with a remarkable sense of clarity and awareness considering he is only 24 years old.
The release of EPs Ill Communication (2005) and Lovers Ride (2006) saw the talented musician receive extensive local airplay, play several extensive Australian tours, sell out several shows at the Spiegeltent, and play a stand out performance at Port Fairy Folk Festival. Jordie has also supported major touring acts Loudon Wainwright III, Gotye, Jeff Lang, and Kate Miller Heidke and Alex Lloyd. This has all helped cement his place in a new breed of artists who once again believe primarily, in the power of a good song.

Sleeping Patterns Band:
Jordie Lane on Vocals, Guitars, Harmonica, Tipple
Jeff Lang on Guitars and Effects
Grant Cummerford on Bass
Ashley Davies on drums
Stevie Hesketh on Piano/Wurlitzer/Hammond


Guest Appearances:
Liz Stringer on vocals and banjo
Laura Jean on Vocals
Jordan Murray, Luke Farrugia, Tim Humphrey (Horns)
and Garrett Costigan on Pedal Steel

Sleeping Patterns will be independently released on June 12 2009, with distribution via Vitamin Records.






Jordie is playing in a new duo with Canadian Songwriter Tracy McNeil called 'Fireside Bellows'. You can find out more from the links below
