Driven by awe and wonder of the natural world, Glasgow based songwriter Iona Lane delivers poetic songs. Subtle musical touches and contemplative melodies link unheard stories with the world we find ourselves in today.‘
In 2022 I released my debut album ‚Hallival‘ to critical acclaim, reaching number 36 in the Folk Album Charts and airplay across the country including BBC Radio 2. ‚Hallival‘ was listed at #27 in FRUK’s top 100 albums of 2022. My music draws from landscapes and the natural world, finding stories in rural locations of mythology, folklore and science and giving them life in contemporary folk. My album features a group of incredibly talented musicians including Lauren MacColl, Jenny Sturgeon and Rachel Newton.
In 2023 I toured Scotland, England and Wales extensively with over 50 shows. I supported Karine Polwart on multiple dates of her sold out tour in England. In November I toured in The Netherlands, Germany and Denmark on a 15 date tour.
2024 sees the release of my next EP and 2025 will see the release of my next album.
