Tane Lane Studio

Here at TLS we thrive on creating a positive energy space for all types of musicians and music lovers. If music, kindness, and creativity are your jam, then you are in the right place! 

About Our Music Recording Studio
The Tanes built their studio to provide a space for Freddie Tane (TAFT-The Amazing Freddie Tane) to continue his musical pursuits. As a life-long devoted multi-talented musician and performer who was ready for the next step in his musical career, the idea of a recording studio was born. With his partner Z Tane as GC, they designed and built Tane Lane Studio. With the music sessions, jams and events now out of their main home (Studio A) and into TLS, it was time to widen the scope of what was possible. The Tanes have always welcomed creative, musical, positive beings into their neck of the woods. Now with a 'home' for future musical adventures, the only thing left to do was to Imagine Possibilities, throw open the doors, and give it up to the Universe to work its magic!!
Stay Tuned!

'EARLIER'

posted 4/5/2026

TAFT wrote a love song titled ‘Earlier’ for our wedding back in May 2002. Freddie and I have often ruminated on how great it would have been if only we had met earlier in life… imagine the possibilities!

He recently decided to run the song through the Tanester music machine and develop it further.  This latest version of ‘Earlier’ has been an adventure in collaboration within the Tanester group, with TAFT at the helm, Ralph Sacco and I co-producing, and with all the players ideas heard and noted.

We hope you enjoy this special song!
