About
Our Vision
The Lanes are a First Nations acoustic sibling duo from North Queensland, performing original music grounded in storytelling and connection. Their sound blends folk, soul and acoustic roots, with stripped-back guitar and close vocal harmonies. Their performances are intimate and emotive, creating spaces for deep listening, reflection and shared feeling rather than background entertainment.
