The Jane Barnes Band got its start as a family project when lockdown began in 2020 and the Barneses wanted to reach out to people who were struggling with isolation and let them know they were not alone.
Rather than do the songs her famous husband Jimmy Barnes wrote or sang every night, Jane Barnes concentrated on doing songs she felt might touch people in a different way.
The ensemble grew and grew as time went on and some nights there would be special guest musicians and family members involved.
Before they knew it, The Jane Barnes Band had taken flight.
With all those bedroom, loungeroom and verandah shows under her belt, Jane Barnes has decided it’s time for the band to take the show on the road.
A NSW tour will kick off on Friday, May 12, at The Art House in Wyong with a varied and soulful repertoire, covering everything from Otis Redding to Doris Day and Dolly Parton, Cold Chisel to John Denver and Glen Campbell and Leonard Cohen to The Beatles.
Barnes’ song choices have touched people far and wide – each song bringing memories of childhood and growing up.
The Jane Barnes Band is about sharing the love of music.
