Gerry Lane - 2 albums: Long Way Home / Meloneras Blues

Gerry Lane is a singer/songwriter originally from West Cork, Ireland but now lives in Gran Canaria. His gutsy, gravelly, vocal style, (he has been likened to Joe Cocker and Jimmy Barnes) coupled with his raw, powerful and emotive guitar playing and unique dynamic stage presence has endeared him to music fans around the world who come back time and time again to see him perform.

His lyrics are sometimes considered impressionistic, with interpretations varying depending on the listener. While Gerry writes all of his own songs, he often indulges in creating new arrangements of favorite cover songs, mostly in the Blues of the 30’s,40’s 50’s…. the Soul of the 60’s and the Classic Rock of the 70’s era. Gerry is equally at home playing acoustic blues as he is electric blues in the Chicago and Texas styles.

He can be seen in his regular residency at the “19th Hole Bar” in the beautiful Meloneras area of Gran Canaria playing and preaching’ the blues to the people who frequent the bar…. and occasionally gigging elsewhere in Europe in places like Belgium, Ireland, Germany etc.

GERRY LANE was born in Cork, Ireland, where he played during his teens in several bands from the surrounding area of this legendary city. In the early eighties Gerry formed 'Driveshaft' touring a lot through Ireland and England as headliner and supporting the likes of Rory Gallagher, Phil Lynott’s Grand Slam and ZZ Top.
Then he moved to London to play and arrange music for some of the big names in the music-world, for instance: Gary Moore, Cozy Powell and John Sinclair from Uriah Heep (Gerry contributed 2 songs on Cozy Powel’s solo-album 'The Drums Are Back'. He sang and played guitar on those tracks).
Now established as solo artist, "10 Years In The Hole" is his fourth release, combining the style of the above mentioned artists and more.
Gerry Lane plays bluesy Classic Rock from the heart, true, without artefacts.
His main style reminds you of Jimmy Barnes, Joe Cocker and Joe Walsh, all spiced with a Southern Rock touch.
