Singer/Songwriter Lane Gardner will perform at Groov Cafe on Saturday night. Hard to fit in to one particular genre, Lane’s music has a timelessness to it. Sometimes gospel, with even a bit of southern grit here and there, her perhaps old-school soulfulness harkens back to trailblazing female singer/songwriters like Carole King and Joni Mitchell, while her sharp and cutting lyrics evoke the stylistic honesty of Ani DiFranco and Adele. Her songwriting is soulful and heartrendering, as she pours her deeply personal stories into a vast, yet familiar well of shared experiences we all can relate to, connect with and be touched by.
