"Music means everything to me; it is my release, my passion, and my love..." (Megan Lane)

"...Every city we play in draws a crowd because word gets out that I’m a 17-year-old girl who plays a mean guitar, but once we start to play, who I am on the outside is no longer a factor. One hundred percent emotion is put into my music, and that’s why audiences want more once they see me play. I get lost in my music, and they feel my intense passion. I began writing and performing my own material at the age of 12, and I’ve been hooked ever since. I started out strictly playing the blues, now blues is just my canvas, and the painting that is created on that canvas is anything and everything it wants to be. I describe moments in time through music, capturing my most intense feelings inside of songs..." 

So says Saskatchewan’s singer/songwriter and guitarist Megan Lane, who, together with band members Bryce Lemky (drums) and David Parker (bass guitar), is Megan Lane and Deep Set Soul.  Their sound - a rock, blues and jazz fusion - combines Megan’s own unique style with the influences of Jimi Hendrix, Fiona Apple, Jonny Lang and Jeff Buckley.  Megan’s steamy vocals, moving lyrics and passionate guitar playing create a performance that is not only classic, but fresh and original.

Megan Lane and Deep Set Soul are regularly booked for gigs across Western Canada, having played venues from Saskatoon to Edmonton, Regina to Winnipeg, Calgary to Red Deer. They have had main stage performances at many music festivals including The SaskTel Saskatchewan Jazz Festival, The Ness Creek Music Festival, The Delta Blues Festival, The Flatland Music Festival, and The North Country Fair.  They have been featured on CBC Radio's "The Gallery" with their live performance at the 2004 Sasktel Jazz Festival and on CTV’s “Good Morning Canada”. 

Highlights for 2005 have included the Juno Fest in Winnipeg where Megan performed at a YESK reception with other guitar greats - Jack Semple, Shaun Verrault, Kyle Riabko, Jordan Cook. 
In May, Megan Lane and Deep Set Soul starred in Saskatchewan’s Lieutenant Governor’s Centennial Gala attended by Queen Elizabeth II performing their original song “ Just Like Me”.  And throughout the program Megan had the pleasure of sharing the stage with Colin James, Brad Johner, Connie Kaldor, Teresa Sokyrka, Andrea Menard and Dionne Taylor. 
In the summer, Megan was invited to perform a tribute to Joni Mitchell on Parliament Hill for Canada Day.  And she was part of Saskatchewan’s Centennial  “Crop Checkin” Tour alongside Wide Mouth Mason, Tom Cochrane and Kyle Riabko. 
Other talented musicians that Megan has had the pleasure of playing with include Big Dave McLean, Ruthie Foster, Jeremy Fisher, Josh Palmer, Sam Cockrell, Dan Silger, and The Mocking Shadows.
An advocate of human rights, Megan often gives her time to play at charitable events and benefits. They have included The Red Cross, Interval House, Oxfam, Saskatoon Pride, Tamara House and The Cancer Society.  In September, Megan was deeply honoured to be awarded The Commemorative Medal for the Centennial of Saskatchewan by Lieutenant Governor, Dr.Lynda Haverstock.  This medal recognizes individuals who have made significant contributions to society and honours their outstanding achievements.

In 2004, Megan Lane and Deep Set Soul released their debut CD "Purple and Blue".  Fully produced and 90% written by Megan Lane it was nominated by The Western Canadian Music Awards for “Outstanding Blues Recording”  It is an artistically intricate album that shows Megan's incredible diversity and her passion for music.

“Anyone who has seen Megan live or has listened to her CD can testify that she is not only a talented songwriter, but also a very poetic and philosophical person.” (Alyssa Ingold, The Session)

“To say Lane looks comfortable on stage is an understatement. The 16-year-old performs with confidence musicians twice her age would kill for.” (Nichole Huck, The Carillon)
