AUSTRALIAN music royalty is poised to grace Bendigo post-Easter under the guise of the Jane Barnes Band – an ensemble led by Barnes herself, with special guests, husband Jimmy and daughter Mahalia, adding to the excitement.<\/p>\n

As the story goes, the band attracted a large following after lockdowns began in 2020 and the Barnes family sought to reach out daily to people who were struggling with isolation to let them know they weren’t alone.<\/p>\n

Rather than rehash Jimmy’s own music every night, they concentrated on performing what they felt might ‘touch people in a different way’.<\/p>\n

Momentum grew as time went on and on some nights there’d be special guest musicians and family members involved.<\/p>\n

Before they knew it, The Jane Barnes Band had taken off.<\/p>\n

Its repertoire is varied and soulful – covering everything from Otis Redding to Doris Day and Dolly Parton, Cold Chisel to John Denver and Glen Campbell, and Leonard Cohen to The Beatles.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The current tour, which has already taken in Launceston, Adelaide, Bunbury and Tweed Heads, is billed as an encore to the band’s run of sold out shows in 2023.<\/p>\n

“This time around you can catch The Jane Barnes Band at a theatre near you,” she said.<\/p>\n

“Come and join us for a family party.”<\/p>\n

With years of bedroom, loungeroom and verandah performances behind her, she said the band is “match fit and ready”.<\/p>\n
