Bri Bagwell“Jordie Lane has been making dark-hearted, voluptuously verbose folk music with a grinning rock ‘n roll spirit for nearly a decade. Now based out of Nashville, TN, Lane has surely cemented his place as one of Australia's most beloved and respected roots music artists.”
Z LUPETIN - THE SHOW ON THE ROAD (Bluegrass Situation Network)
With a career now spanning 15 years, 9 releases under his belt, named in Melbourne Magazine’s 100 most influential people, and nominated for Melbourne International Comedy Festival’s ‘Barry Award’, winning Double J’s Radio ‘Tower of Song’, Jordie Lane is widely regarded as one of Australia’s finest singer-songwriters and live performers.
Born to a comedian & a clown, Lane spent his early years in a traveling circus. His nomadic touring lifestyle and knack for comedic storytelling confirm the theory one is a product of their upbringing, but when you watch Jordie perform live it is his incredible voice and unique rhythmic guitar playing that seem like they come from another place and another time.
It is a voice that has taken him around the world, performing major festivals in the US, Canada, UK and Australia, and touring with the likes of international legends, Gotye, Billy Bragg, Old Crow Medicine Show, Neko Case, Cat Power, The Weakerthans, Ruthie Foster, Mary Chapin Carpenter, and The Moody Blues.
The much loved Australian indie roots artist, who recently moved from Melbourne to LA to Nashville, is malleable and resilient despite the torrent of changes that have come his way. His last album release, GLASSELLLAND, was released worldwide in September 2018.
Pronounced Glas-Sell-Land, the album was praised by the Australian press across the board with 4 star reviews in The Music, Rolling Stone, Herald Sun and named ‘Double J Album Of The Week’, Lane’s song ‘Black Diamond’ was also awarded ‘Tower Of Song Of The Year’ on Double J Radio and came 24th in their top 50 Albums.
With Top 10 success on the Roots Music Report Chart and cracking the top 100 on the AMA/CDX Americana Chart. Lane has also previously been added to high rotation on Sirius XM Radio’s ‘The Coffeehouse Channel.
He has appeared on Paste Magazine's Daytrotter sessions, The prestigious NPR Radio’s ‘Mountain Stage’ and ‘Folk Alley’. Lane has played many of the worlds top festivals including, Americana Music Fest, Sisters Folk Fest, Philadelphia Folk Festival, Winnipeg Folk Fest, Calgary Music Festival and Edmonton Folk Festival, Celtic Connections (Scotland), Falls Fest, West Coast Blues & Roots (Aus) Woodford Folk Festival (Aus).
Reviews from Last Album GLASSELLLAND:
“The total clincher though is the totally vivid and disturbing narrative of Lane’s great-grandfather and his war-time experiences – “Frederick Steele McNeil Ferguson”. With a resonating, sparse riff and steady, front-of-house percussion, this is reminiscent of the great Neil Young brooding arrangements. Buy the album just for this song – harrowing.
The time to enjoy this personal, discerning, exemplary assemblage is now.”
NO DEPRESSION (USA)
"in the same way that Sturgill Simpson can bring a room to tears one minute, and have the crowd hollering for more the next, Lane plays with both harmony and grit."
Gigie Hall, CULTURE COLLIDE (USA)
“he plays sort of the psych prophet in the way of a Father John Misty, yet with a more diverse sound. The shared vocals are especially beautiful and engaging as it builds and climaxes incredibly.”
EAR TO THE GROUND (USA)
Glassellland has a kaleidoscopic quality that extends Lane’s musical scope and range of vocal expression.
There’s a psychedelic Beatles’ Sgt Pepper feel in the alternating rhythm and tempo changes of In Dreams of War; a kind of Fab Four meet Chris Isaak ambience in the arrangement of the equally expansive America, Won’t You Make My Dreams Come True, a vocal duet with his collaborator. Stripped back to acoustic guitar and harmonica, Lane’s closer to 1960s Dylan in Better Not Go Outside and Time Just Flew, spitting out lines such as “try not to obsess over symmetry / accept that death is history” and “I wake when the day is done / I do my living without the sun” with laissez-faire attitude. There are shades of Neil Young in the folk-rockers Black Diamond and Frederick Steele McNeil Ferguson. In the latter, Lane’s gruff singing and grungy electric guitar riffs intensify a song about guilt and a grandfather who “killed a man in World War I”. In Dreamin’ the Life, the dynamics and opening gambit are reminiscent of Jeff Lang: “Thornbury tram to a London tube”.

Travis Tritt
More than 35 years after Travis Tritt launched his music career, the Southern rock-influenced artist continues to sell-out shows and stay true and relevant to country music fans across the globe. Continuously performing shows and withholding a heavy appearance schedule, Tritt is proving to be unstoppable.
The highly abbreviated Tritt timeline started when the young Marietta, Georgia native incorporated his lifelong influences of Southern rock, blues and gospel into his country during a honky-tonk apprenticeship that led him to Warner Bros. in 1989.
Over the course of a decade, Travis released seven studio albums and a greatest hits package for the label. His 1990 debut Country Club and its succession of hits put him in the vanguard of the genre's early '90s boom, dubbing him as one of “The Class of ‘89,” which included country music superstars Garth Brooks, Clint Black and Alan Jackson; all whom dominated the charts in the early ‘90s.
“Country Club,” “Help Me Hold On,” “I’m Gonna Be Somebody,” and “Drift Off to Dream” peaked at numbers two and three on the Hot Country Singles & Tracks charts; all which led for Tritt to win Top New Male Artist award from Billboard and the CMA Horizon Award (now known as the New Artist Award). Additionally, in 1991, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) marked Tritt’s debut album Country Club as certified platinum.
Two years after his debut, Travis’ sophomore album, It’s All About to Change, was released. Literally speaking, this album changed everything when the album shipped three million copies and all four of its singles reached the top five on the country music charts. Along with his first album, this release became triple-platinum certified by the RIAA.
At the same time, his conspicuous lack of a cowboy hat and musical assertiveness set him apart. The next series of albums, seven of which are certified platinum or higher, scored him more hit singles and led him to amass more than 30 million in career album sales, two Grammys, three CMA Awards and a devoted fan base that has filled venues coast-to-coast.
He's been a force in sports appearances, having performed at the 1996 Olympics, two Super Bowls, a World Series Game, the opening of the Georgia Dome, the final Braves game at Atlanta-Fulton Country Stadium and, in 2013, the NCAA men's basketball championship.
In 2012, Tritt formed his own label, Post Oak Recordings and shortly after released his album, The Calm After... Most recently, Tritt released a new project, a special live 2-disc CD and DVD, titled A Man and His Guitar – Live From The Franklin Theatre. The release, shot and recorded at the historic Franklin Theatre in Franklin, Tenn., spotlights Tritt’s distinctively soulful voice and his exceptional guitar prowess in an intimate theater setting.
In late 2014 and throughout 2015, Tritt's compilation album, Very Best of Travis Tritt, that was originally released in 2007, saw a sales resurgence as it topped the SoundScan Top 200 Catalog Country Albums chart for over 60 consecutive weeks with 15 weeks spent at No. 1 and 35+ weeks notched in a Top 5 position, while earning RIAA certified gold status by selling over 500,000 copies. The 20-track album features some of Tritt’s biggest hits, including “It’s A Great Day To Be Alive,” “Here’s A Quarter,” and “Anymore.”
“Set in Stone” was released in 2021 featuring the hit “Smoke in a Bar.” And the country gospel album ‘Country Chapel” was released in 2023.
