At just 16, Lane Lowder is already making his mark on country music with a maturity and authenticity well beyond his years. Rooted in the traditions of George Strait, Garth Brooks, and Merle Haggard, yet infused with the modern sensibilities of Riley Green and Parker McCollum, Lane has quickly developed a sound that bridges classic country storytelling with fresh, youthful energy.
His latest single 'Good Song' strips away clichés to celebrate the simple joy of a track that truly resonates. With rich vocals and an anthemic country-rock arrangement, Lane delivers a reminder of why country music endures: its power to connect people, move hearts, and get a crowd dancing. Already gaining traction on TikTok and beyond, 'Good Song' positions Lowder as one of the most exciting rising names in country and Americana, a young artist carrying the torch forward on his own terms.
So with the new single out now, we sat down with him to find out more about his origins and what has been inspiring him most over the years.
