Born to a comedian and a clown, Nashville based Australian Indie-Roots artist, composer and producer, Jordie Lane spent his early years in a traveling circus. 

As a recording artist, Lane has toured with many of the world’s legendary songwriters and bands, including Billy Bragg, The Moody Blues, Gotye, and Old Crow Medicine Show, to name a few, along with appearances at festivals around the world including West Coast Blues & Roots, Port Fairy, Queenscliff and Woodford in Australia, along with Philadelphia, Sisters, Calgary and Winnipeg Folk Festivals in North America. 

A guest on Australian TV shows, ‘Spicks & Specks’ and ‘Rock Wiz’ singing a duet with Grammy Winning US artist Mary Gauthier, Jordie was also invited to perform Triple J Radio’s coveted ‘Like A Version’ with fellow Australian & Milk Records artist Jen Cloher, playing MGMT’s hit ‘Electric Feel’. 

In what is a staggering 16th release for Jordie Lane, The Empty House Tapes Vol. 1 & 2 (out March 10, 2023) are the first collection of brand new songs released by Lane since his ‘Lost’ EP in 2019, which featured legendary American drummer Jim Keltner (Joe Cocker, John Lennon, Bob Dylan) and saw his track, ‘The Walls’ receive regular rotation airplay on Australia’s Double J network, along with love from editorial playlists on Spotify and Amazon. 

His acclaimed 2018 album ‘Glassellland’ won a slew of praise and awards including named Double J ‘Album Of The Week’, nominated for The Age Music Victoria Awards, and winning ‘Tower Of Song Of The Year’. 

Known for his creative applications of makeshift spaces to create stunning records, such as his groundbreaking 2011 album, Blood Thinner, made in a desert motel in Joshua Tree, California with little more than a Cassette recorder, to his critically acclaimed Glassellland, which was also self recorded in a series of Air Bnb’s across Los Angeles, it only seems fitting that Jordie has found himself again being led by the experience to set the tone and vibe and become the essence of what sets Lane apart from many of his Folk/Americana counterparts.

Jordie's songs have appeared in TV shows, Packed To The Rafters(Aus), Kingdom(US), and Sue Brook’s (Japanese Story) feature film, Looking For Grace, along with the Stan Original, ‘Christmas Ransom’

Jordie’s craft for songwriting and love for the art of screen eventually intersected in 2018 when he composed the original score for Australian Documentary Spirit Walker - Clinton’s Walk For Justice (SBS).

In May 2019, Jordie released a collaborative single, 'For Everyone' with Indigenous singer Yirrmal, written specifically as the end credits song for the documentary 'The Spirit Walker’. The song went on to be picked up for national playlisting on ABC and Double J networks, along with Spotify's 'Fresh Folk' Playlist. It also went on to be nominated for 'best song' at the National Indigenous Music Awards alongside, Briggs and Mojo Juju. 

In late 2019 Jordie composed his second Original Score for film, with the American Indi-short Golden Toad, directed by Academy Award short-listed, Masanori Baba slated for 2020 release. 

In 2023, Jordie Lane alongside collaborator Clare Reynolds were hired to compose and produce the entire musical score along with multiple songs for the reboot of Australia’s most popular comedy series, ‘Mother and Son’. An 8-episode season, which garnered fantastic reviews, and ratings in the top 10 most watched shows on television multiple weeks in a row.
