Beginning during lockdown, The Jane Barnes Band was a way for Jimmy and Jane to connect with fans who might be struggling during isolation.
Choosing to cover classic songs instead of Jimmy’s packed catalogue gave Jane the chance to learn the guitar and sing songs that she and her family have a personal connection with.
The group’s tour has been described as being invited into Jane and Jimmy’s home, with each show an intimate celebration of music, family and friendship.
