Listen Up: Lanie Lane
Australian songstress Lanie Lane makes her US debut this May with a trio of performances in Los Angeles (May 2-3) and New York (May 10). Part of what seems a growing trend of glammed-up chanteuses who mix modern edge with vintage sensibility, Lanie (pronounced “Lannie”) was recently featured on the April 2011 cover of Time Out Sydney, where she’s praised for “mixing up blues, rockabilly, folk and swing into a timeless whole, topped with a gorgeously pure voice and a swag of songs that could have plausibly been written any time between the 1920s and today.”
According to her bio, Lanie is “imbued with the spirit of Muddy Waters, channeling the class of Doris Day and sparkling with the pizazz of the Andrews Sisters.” Whatever it is, her catchy musical amalgam of smoky blues, sweet soul, and swingy pop will whisk you away to a simpler time, here and now.
