The Jane Barnes Band got its start as a family project when lockdown began in 2020 and the Barnes family wanted to reach out to people who were struggling with isolation and let them know they were not alone.

Rather than do the songs Jimmy wrote or sang every night, they concentrated on doing songs they felt might touch people in a different way.

The ensemble grew and grew as time went on and some nights there would be special guest musicians and family members involved. Before they knew it, The Jane Barnes Band had taken flight.

The Jane Barnes Band’s repertoire is varied and soulful. They cover everything from Otis Redding to Doris Day and Dolly Parton, Cold Chisel to John Denver and Glen Campbell and Leonard Cohen to The Beatles.

With all those bedroom, loungeroom and verandah shows under her belt, as well as a few Jimmy Barnes’ shows along the way, Jane is ready for the band to get themselves match fit for the inevitable arena and stadium show supports that will be on offer.

The Jane Barnes Band is about sharing the love of music. No big productions here, but there’s a good chance you can catch a glimpse of the hope and love she feels for her family. She shares it every night with anyone who needs a lift.

Special guests on all shows will be Jimmy Barnes and Mahalia Barnes.
