I take it you want to know more about me, so here’s a little info for ya’... People say I have a large musical palette, i think that’s because I draw from a wide range of influences. I have 30 years of experience and fluent in many styles of music like Blues, R&B, Hip Hop, Jazz, Country, Zydeco, New Orleans Second Line, Funk, Latin and many forms of Rock music. I have been very fortunate to receive steady work, making a living and keeping myself fat and overweight! (laughs) I have performed in Asia, the Caribbean, Europe and all around the USA. I worked 15 years with Grand Ole Opry Star and Sony recording artist Skeeter Davis, as well as many other talented people, there is a small list below.

Waldo Weathers (James Brown)* Here’s a nice quote about the groove: Country music star Wynonna Judd says this about the Stew ("Delicious Blues Stew" a group i perform with): "I have the greatest memory of the first time I ever saw them play. I happened to be at the Bourbon Street Blues & Boogie Bar in Nashville with my mother. We were there to see Jimmy Vaughan, and after his set, they came on stage. The next thing I know my mother and I were dancing in the aisles. THEY GROOVE MY BRAINS OUT!!! You need to experience the joy and celebration in their music like I have. It’s truly a healing experience."Drumming Influences: David Garibaldi, Zigaboo Modeliste, Willie Green, Herman Ernest, Clyde Stubblefield, Stewart Copeland, Steve Gadd, Tom Larson, Vinnie Colaiuta, Simon Phillips, Dave Weckl, Buddy Rich, Louie Bellson, Mel Watts, Tony Williams, Billy Cobham, Lenny White, John Bonham, Tommy Aldridge, just to name a few...

Lane is currently working with: Delicious Blues Stew (and) Donnie C. (neo soul artist). Delicious Blues Stew or "The Stew" is a Bluesiana party band covering bayou blues styles such as Baton Rouge & New Orleans blues, zydeco, Cajun, second line and Mardi Gras music. Eclectic, with quality original material, the Stew founded the highly successful Mardi Gras celebration at Bourbon Street Blues & Boogie Bar in Nashville, Blues Club of the Year in 2000. The band features a catalogue of over 300 songs, ranging from high-spirited originals to time-honored classics in blues, rock ’n’ roll, zydeco & jazz. The Stew delivers good-time Bluesiana Music with a strong Mardi Gras flavor. One observer notes that "no one comes away from a Stew gig unscathed." Country music star Wynonna says this about the Stew: "I have the greatest memory of the first time I ever saw them play. I happened to be at the Bourbon Street Blues & Boogie Bar in Nashville with my mother. We were there to see Jimmy Vaughan, and after his set, they came on stage. The next thing I know my mother and I were dancing in the aisles. They groove my brains out!!! You need to experience the joy and celebration in their music like I have. It’s truly a healing experience." Please email me if you need my phone or fax number, I do not like to post it online. Thank you for your time, understanding and kindness.
Peace, Brannan Lane
