What a finish to the summer term this Friday when we welcome the magnificent Gary Cain to St Harmonica’s Blues Club.
"ridiculously talented, genre-bending guitarist...a jaw-dropper”
- Blues Matters Magazine (UK)
Gary Cain is a Canadian-born, and now UK-based guitarist, singer, and songwriter with one foot planted firmly in the blues, and the other foot planted in seemingly everything else. He’s been called “ridiculously talented” and a “jaw-dropper” by Blues Matters Magazine. His debut album led one reviewer to exclaim “Oh my God, can this guy play a guitar!” The Gary Cain Band have played major festivals around the world, have been semi-finalists at the Blues Foundation's International Blues Challenge in Memphis, and have opened for George Thorogood and the Destroyers.
“Gary Cain is one of the most exciting guitar slingers on the blues scene today.”
- Shane Macauley, 94.9 The Rock FM (Toronto)
In 2016 Gary placed 4th in the world in Grammy-winner Lee Ritenour's "Six String Theory" blues guitar contest, the largest one in the world with entries from 48 countries, and judged by guitar greats including Joe Bonamassa, Steve Lukather, John Scofield, Vince Gill, & Ry Cooder.
“Killer original stuff that those in the market for a new guitar hero will take to heart. Hot stuff.”
- Midwest Records
