[tsedivy]

Greetings Blues Fans,

Another big weekend of cool music in Linoma.

Candye Kane plays Murphys tonight at 5:30pm (cover just $8).
Celebrated Blues Diva and seven time San Diego best blues award winner
Candye Kane will embark on a 26 city tour in support of her eighth CD
Guitar’d and Feathered/ RUF records. The Philadephia Inquirer calls
Kane “a serious and seriously powerful singer who lays it on the
line.” All Music Guide and the Montreal Gazette call Guitar’d and
Feathered “The best album of Kane’s career.” Pretty great reviews for a
singer who was already named one of the “30 Essential Women of the
Blues” by the House of Blues in 1994! G &F is in regular rotation on XM
radio/ Bluesville and is pick of the week on the House of Blues radio
hour, In May, Kane won the 2007 West Coast Songwriters award for her
original song, I’m my own worst enemy from her latest release. Another
Kane composition, The Toughest Girl Alive will air this week on the CW
network series, Hidden Palms.

Guitar’d and Feathered, produced by Kane and former Muddy Waters
guitarist Bob Margolin, features tracks with Sue Foley, Ana Popovic,
Bob Brozman, Kid Ramos, Junior Watson, Dave Alvin and Popa Chubby.
Highlighting Kane’s songwriting and powerhouse delivery, Guitar’d and
Feathered showcases a ”wiser and more serious diva.“ (All Music
Guide.com)

The Candye Kane band continues nearly two decades of relentless touring
with stops including the Ottawa Cisco Systems Blues festival and the
Mont- Tremblant Blues festival in Quebec. Kane’s fall schedule includes
appearances in Europe and Hong Kong. Her live band features her eldest
son, Evan Caleb on drums, Former Mighty Flyer Bill Stuve on bass and
Heine Andersen on guitar.
