Lane Turner Bio

Born and raised in West Texas, country music was anything but short in supply for Lane. The story-telling and simplicity of life found in classic songs by legends like Conway Twitty, Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson resonated with him. "I thought alot as a kid. And I remember listening to "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain" and just being so into it and feeling the emotion. Even as a little kid, I got those songs. The simplicity of it could connect with me," says Turner. The influences didn’t stop there. "My first record was Elvis. My mom was a big Elvis fan. Of course, at the time, Elvis was rock and roll, but if you listen to it now, it fits right into the country genre. They're all story songs."

From the very beginning, music was a huge part of Lane’s life. No matter what he was doing, the radio was always on. His parents picked up on his love for music, and bought him a guitar. Lane recalls, "I would sit in my room for hours, and listen to the radio and try to play what I heard."
