Candye Kane delights audiences with brash, beautiful, blues songs like "200 Lbs. of Fun" and "Hey Mister (She Was My Baby Last Night)." Her life story is as inspiring as her music. Raised in a dysfunctional family in East L.A., Candye was an unwed mom by age 17, dabbling in the adult film industry. Getting involved in the L.A. cowpunk scene in the 1980s helped turn her life around. She married, raised two sons (one of whom is a drummer in her band)--and discovered blues divas like Big Maybelle and Bessie Smith, women with colorful and often difficult pasts. Candye Kane found a home in the blues. Recently on the mend from cancer surgery that left her, she says, "in stitches in Oceanside," Candye Kane is beginning the next chapter in a remarkable musical career. She's coming to town with a new CD, tentatively entitled "Super Hero."
