Tim  Lane has carved out a distinctive place in the Australian music scene,  blending heartfelt acoustic ballads with driving rock anthems. 

His  journey began as a university guitarist in rock cover bands, where 

he  honed his craft on stage night after night. Today, he channels that 

energy into original compositions, performing and recording music 

that carries his unmistakable signature sound.

Drawing inspiration from  iconic acts like Crowded House and Hunters & Collectors, Tim’s  songs are built on carefully crafted melodies and lyrics that resonate  with audiences across generations. His music moves seamlessly between  intimate acoustic storytelling and full‑bodied rock, reflecting 

both his  versatility and deep connection to the craft.

In  2010, Tim joined forces with longtime friend Mark Baldock to form the 

rock duo The Backstick Agenda — a name coined by Tim’s son, Charlie.  

Around the same time, he collaborated with Dave Minchin of The 

Giant  Hamsters, leading to the production of “A Song for Jim” with 

Michael Carpenter at Sydney’s Luv HZ Studios. That project marked the beginning  of Tim’s journey into original music, setting the stage for 

a growing  catalogue of work. Beyond his collaborations, Tim continues 

to  perform solo shows in Hobart, captivating audiences with his 

dynamic range and authentic storytelling. He has recorded ten original 

tracks to date, steadily building a body of work that reflects his evolution 

as  an artist and his enduring passion for music.
