Kane Bros. Blues Band w/ super special guests Cindy Cashdollar and Reeves Gabrels
In 1972 in Woodstock New York, four teenage school boys with fake I.D.'S started packing area clubs with their ferocious approach to the blues. Soon they were opening concerts for blues royalty including Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon and James Cotton. The Kane Bros. Blues Band toured the east coast relentlessly, making their way to the fabled stage at CBGB in NYC. As punk rock took its baby steps (1975-76) the Kane Bros.' stripped down, full throttle blues fit snugly into the evolving punk aesthetic.
...But boys will be boys and so they broke up in 1977. Drummer Jonathan Kane went to NYC where he co-founded the legendary industrial rock band Swans in 1981. He then went on to tour internationally and play on more than 80 records, including a 3 hour non-stop blues with minimalist godfather La Monte Young's 'Forever Bad Blues Band', and with overtone guitar innovator Rhys Chatham, whose 100 electric guitar orchestra features Kane as the only drummer.
Singer and harmonica player Anthony Kane went to Chicago and became a fixture on the windy city's fertile blues scene, working with Muddy Waters, Koko Taylor, Luther Tucker, Sam Lay and many others.
Guitarist and singer Josh Colow enjoyed a string of #1 dance hits in Europe in the 90's, returning to Woodstock to work with such greats as The Band, Rick Danko and David Torn.
Bassist Ray Ploutz worked with legendary performance artist Hibiscus in the historic and ground breaking band 'The Screaming Violets'.
