JORDIE LANE 'Habitual' Album Launch

Jordie Lane: Nashville-based, Melbourne born folk-country rocker Jordie Lane, is a seasoned road warrior, touring Australia, North Americana and Europe and sharing the stage with legendary acts like Billy Bragg, Gotye, Old Crow Medicine Show, The Moody Blues, Neko Case among others, and has found his place as one of Australia’s modern day storytelling greats! After a series of sold out shows in 2025, and additions to many best-of-lists and Main- Stage appearances at Australia’s Woodford and Port Fairy Folk festivals, Lane re-emerges in 2026 with the album ‘Habitual’. The follow-up to his 2024 ARIA Country Chart No.1 album Tropical Depression, signaling a clear shift in approach—more immediate, more physical, and driven by the energy of live performance. Lane enlisted producer LOLLIES and bunkered down in Nashville’s ‘The Bomb Shelter’ to record live to analog tape with a full band. The sessions focused on capturing real shared moments as they happened, rather than constructing songs piece by piece. The result is a raw, unfiltered country-rock sound—with tape hiss, crunch, and grit—paired with the spontaneity and momentum that underpin Lane’s live shows and creative essence. Minor Gold At the centre of Minor Gold is a chemistry forged through years of playing music together and deepened by a life spent on the road. Since their debut album arrived in 2023, McNeil and Parsons have lived almost continuously on tour, crossing North America, the UK, Europe and Australia. The result is an instinctive musical shorthand that runs through their performances — a connection shaped as much by the miles between shows as by the music itself. “Tracy McNeil and Dan Parsons craft timeless Americana...capturing freedom and love with rare emotional precision. Its warm harmonies and evocative storytelling make this a road-trip soundtrack for the soul. Music that feels both classic and deeply personal.” — ABC’s Double J
