One of Australia’s finest folk-roots songwriters, @jordielanemusic is coming home. Based in Nashville, Lane returns to Australia this November and December to celebrate the release of his new album Habitual’ with a national tour including appearances at Town Folk Fest in Castlemaine and Queenscliff Music Festival, alongside headline shows in Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney.

For the recording of Habitual, Lane enlisted acclaimed Nashville producer LOLLIES, known for her work with Caroline Spence, Rachel Baiman and Laura Cortese and their visions were brought to life by Jason Burger (Big Thief, Andrew Bird) on drums, Asa Brosius (Joe Henry) on pedal steel, Trevor Bahnson (Elizabeth Cook) on guitars, and Elias Broxham (Dallas Ugly) on bass. Recorded and mixed in Nashville by Drew Carroll at the legendary The Bomb Shelter (Alabama Shakes, Hurray for the Riff Raff and Margo Price). Habitual was mastered by Grammy Award-winning engineer Tim Smiley, whose credits include Mavis Staples and Waxahatchee.

With the whole album recorded in just over three days and committed entirely to 2-inch, 16-track analogue tape, Habitual captures Lane at his most immediate, a blend of country, rock and blues, complete with tape hiss, grit and the unpredictable magic of a band playing together in a room, and at the heart of the album is a deceptively simple idea: habits, the good, the bad and everything in between.

The Habitual tour will also take Lane into regional communities across Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland, with shows spanning the Mornington Peninsula, Archies Creek, Eldorado, the Northern Rivers and the Sunshine Coast.
