www.janelaws.com Jane Laws is a independent singer-songwriter who specialises in building images of characters interacting with each other. The songs take on the personality of the characters portrayed, and one can feel the thoughts and emotions of each personality. Jane was born in England. As a three year old, her family migrated to Zambia. Jane moved from Zambia to Tasmania and back to Africa, first to Zimbabwe and then Namibia. Her mother is a music teacher. Jane played the clarinet in the Tasmanian Junior Youth Orchestra but by her teens had adopted the guitar as her favourite instrument. By fourteen she was writing her own songs. At eighteen Jane moved to Western Australia. Jane first came to the spotlight with her folk ballad Seaflight. This song was written as a tribute to David Dicks, the Perth teenager who sailed solo, non-stop around the world. Seeing Ear Records, in association with Pocket Universe Recording Studio, were so impressed with Jane's work they decided to produce Gypsy Traveller, Jane's first album of original songs. Through the years Jane has continued travelling and writing about the places she has been and the folks she has met along the way. In January 2022, Jane released her 5th studio album of folk-roots songs, Timing and Expectation. In August 2023 Jane is excited to share with you her latest maritime folk song, Fremantle Harbour Bound, a story about being at sea, for a very long time, and finally sailing towards home.
