single mother since 17, part former stripper and plus-size porn star, part successful
musician and part cancer survivor. Put them together and you’ve got so much more
than bibbidi-bobbidi-boo; you’ve got Candye Kane.
Now a celebrated blues musician and openly bisexual LGBT advocate, Kane got her
start singing at a young age. Ever industrious, Kane used money earned from her
days stripping, posing topless and starring in porno films to hire musicians to help
her record and fulfill her dreams.
However, this BBW wasn’t always a blues singer. Coming of age in LA during the
rise of punk, Kane shared the stage with the likes of the Circle Jerks and Black Flag
with her first band Rawhide. A few years later, she turned to a country sound with a
group called The Armadillo Stampede, the success of which landed her the only major-
label release of her career.
In a serendipitous turn, Kane discovered Etta James and Ruth Brown around the
same time she grew tired of the country scene and turned to blues. “I realized that
blues would forgive me for my controversial past, and I sure wouldn’t have to lose
weight to be taken seriously as a blues singer,” she writes on her website.
Speaking of the controversial past, Kane is no shrinking violet. She’s penned true-
to-life tongue-in-cheek tunes like “Great Big Woman” and “White Trash Girl.” She’s
authored a play, The Toughest Girl Alive, detailing her porno rags-to-riches life. Oh, and
she kicked pancreatic cancer. Twice.
Watch Kane take a song by the balls and turn it into pure gold with her brash, rocka-
billy blues voice 8 pm Tuesday, Dec. 11, at Cozmic; $12 adv., $16 door. — Jackie Varriano
