Edit history

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 and subsequently moved to Tasmania then Zimbabwe and 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 and was writing her own songs. At eighteen Jane moved to WA. 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. 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.
