Wrapping up his HSC, 17-year-old Tamworth, NSW school student Lane Pittman returns with his flowing mullet and brand new single “Ain’t Too Much To Ask”. With his time spent on The Voice Australia behind him Lane’s focus has shifted to playing shows and releasing new music, and that couldn’t come quicker after just wrapping up a huge Australia and NewZealand tour with Country Music megastar Luke Combs, selling out arenas across both countries (Qudos Bank Arena SYD, Rod Laver Arena MEL, Brisbane Entertainment Centre BRS, AEC Centre ADL, RAC Arena PER and Spark Arena NZ).
The reception for his first single “Love In A Country Town”, released through Chugg Music has been immense as it climbed to #4 on the National Country Airplay Charts. The vibe around Lane as an emerging artist has now seen him on line-ups for festivals such as Meatstock and CMC Rocks 2024.
Written by US giants Neil Mason (from The Cadillac Three), Dan Fernandez and Dan Wilson, Lane mentions that “Ain’t Too Much To Ask” is such a special song to me, from the minute I heard it I knew we were onto something special. Recording it came super easy as I channelled my own feelings and really brought that into the song. Keeping it super stripped back was important as I felt the lyrics stood out on their own. Anyone who has been or is head over heels in love will hopefully be able to relate to the sentiment of the song.”
ABOUT LANE PITTMAN:
Born in Mount Isa, QLD and raised in country music capital Tamworth NSW, country music has been part of Lane for his entire life. Seeking inspiration from the legends such as Alan Jackson, Randy Travis and Brooke & Dunn, through to today’s biggest stars like Keith Urban, Luke Combs and Morgan Wallen, Lane has taken it all in to make a style all his own, which he is ready to take to the world at the fresh age of just seventeen.
Australia was introduced to Lane Pittman in April 2022, when the then 16-year-old school student from Tamworth NSW with the glorious mullet haircut and even more sensational vocal tone wowed audiences with his cover of Luke Combs “Even Though I’m Leaving” as his audition for The Voice Australia. All four chairs turned, and Lane joined Team Keith (Keith Urban).
Lane’s performance of “Even Though I’m Leaving” was uploaded across socials and has so far been viewed over 5 million times across YouTube, TikTok and Instagram.
The performance caught the eye of Luke Combs, and his team and Lane was invited to be the opening act on Luke’s massive, sold-out Australian & New Zealand Tour with Cody Johnson, taking place in August 2023. Lane also appeared at CMC Rocks and sold out his first ever ticketed show at the Tamworth Country Music Festival in 2023.
Lane is completing his Higher School Certificate in 2023 and looking forward to getting stuck into writing and performing and releasing more music and all that lays ahead in his musical journey.
