GARY CAIN - NEXT STOP
BLUES ROCKLABEL: SELF
RELEASE DATE: MAY 6, 2022
Gary Cain is a Canadian-born guitarist, singer, and songwriter with one foot planted firmly in the blues, and the other foot planted in seemingly everything else. Heās been called āridiculously talentedā and a ājaw-dropperā by Blues Matters Magazine.
The foundation of his virtuosic style was laid via marathon practice sessions as a youngster in his parentsā basement. āBack then itās all I would do some days ā sometimes 13, 14 hours a day. Iād have to be reminded to eat.ā says Cain.
Cainās music career eventually led him from the blues clubs in Canada, to a 6-nights a week gig in Dubai in the house band of the largest nightclub in the emirate at the time. Playing cover tunes paid well, but eventually saw Cain return to Canada burnt out. āI didnāt touch my guitar for 3 months after I got back, which I hadnāt done since I first picked it up as a kid. It had always been my favourite thing, and somehow Iād made it into a chore. Eventually I just thought back to what made me love it in the first place, playing strictly for the joy and expression of it, not to make money or fit other peopleās expectations. Lots of people want you to fit into their box. In the end the most important thing is you stay true to yourself. Iām thankful to have learned that lesson early on and itās something Iāll never forget.ā
The shut-downs and tour cancellations of COVID saw Cain return to the woodshed for marathon days of practice and writing, culminating in his second album, āNext Stopā, set to release May 6, 2022. Written and recorded in Austin, Texas, the album sees Cainās seat-of-the-pants guitar playing, strong songwriting, and stylistic diversity on full display.ā
