Lane Murchison

“I’m the product of everything I see and I do.” — Lane Murchison, Small Business Lane Murchison is an experienced musician, songwriter, instructor, composer and producer who performs regularly in the Bay Area and beyond. His music has moved audiences in venues ranging from roadhouses to concert halls and everything in between. Lane’s dedication to music began as a child, when he was consistently referred to the principal’s office and eventually suspended from school for drumming unconsciously at his desk. Lane maintains that he was simply trying to work out a groove; however, his teachers did not see it that way. When things were at their worst, Lane’s mother picked him up from school and took him straight to a music shop for his first drum lesson. He believes this act has shaped his music career more than any other. In 2005 Lane co-founded Bird School of Music in San Francisco to offer instruction and performance opportunities for children and adults in a fun, supportive, technology-rich environment. “We couldn’t have done it without great support from our community and my friends, who believed in me and my music career and were just nuts enough to think I could handle the challenge of running a music program,” Lane said. Lane’s songs have been used in national advertising campaigns for companies like Levi’s, Coors Brewing Company, Nike and Hilton Hotels, as well as in several independent films.
