One of Australia’s most celebrated storytellers to ever strap on the ol’ timber and steel, Jordie Lane has announced a brand new EP Not Built To Last set for release Friday, 18th October, and the week after Lane will be heading out in a run of national tour dates. And when this dude says ‘national’, he really means it.
Lane will be stopping off at all major cities as he meanders across Australia, hitting plenty of regional centres as well. The tour will encompass his scheduled performance at Fleurieu Folk Festival in South Oz, with Lane throwing in some special afternoon performances, with Melbourne and Sydney scoring a show each featuring Lane’s full band.
Of course, such a fuss wouldn’t have been made unless it was deemed worthy and Not Built To Last is shaping up to be just that. His previously released single Fool For Love was featured as iTunes Single Of The Week, scoring more than 40,000 downloads, and his most recent full-length, 2011’s Blood Thinner was shortlisted for Best Blues & Roots Album at the 2012 Australian Independent Music Awards.
Lane seems to have his game down-pat. Currently residing in LA, he’s spent much of the year touring throughout the US and Canada, and now we’ve got a timeline for his long-awaited return to home soil. Information for all dates below.
