John Daniel Lane
Hailing from western Illinois, Lane
has sampled a variety of music styles.
During his journey as an artist, he
has collected a variety of songs and
tunes such as old-time dance fiddling,
lonesome bluegrass, and seafaring
ballads. Playing a style once labeled
as "raw baroque Midwest square-dance
jams," his set will feature
traditional music and original songs
on both guitar and fiddle. Lane's
performance will take the listener on
a journey through place and time,
delivering a heartfelt performance of
timeless songs and the stories that
surround them.
