Lanie Lane Shoot

In May this year we were graced with the presence of Lanie Lane who had come all the way over from Australia via Nashville Tennessee where she had just recorded two tracks with non other than Jack White himself.

‘Ain’t Hungry’ and ‘My Man’ were recorded at the incredible Record Store/Record Label/Live Venue/One Stop Production house and Photo Studio that is “Third Man Records” and will be available August 23rd.

Lanie’s photoshoot for her press shots took place in London at Gibson Guitar studios and was a lovely day. Here is a gem of a picture from that day’s shoot.
