NIKKI LANE & HER BAND (USA)
A singer and songwriter woh mixes the honky-tonk atmosphere of vintage country with the clever bite if indie rock, Nikki Lane is a barroom siren whose music is tough, witty and bold, inhabiting Nashville archetypes while upending them at the same time.
Lane’s songs walk a fine line between sincerity and irony, but the passion and effectiveness of her vocals keeps her from sounding like a put-on, and her melodies mix rootsy twang and rock & roll edge with confidence.
Lane introduced her talent with the 2011 debut WALK OF SHAME and added a soulful edge with 2014’s ALL OR NOTHIN’ and 2017’2 HIGHWAY QUEEN. WITH 2022’s DENIM & DIAMONDS, she eased back on her country accents and added harder rock energy to her mix.
