Blues Singer Fights to Survive Pancreatic Cancer: Benefit Concert June 8 at Biscuits & Blues in San Francisco
Nominated for the Blues Foundation's 2008 Contemporary Female Blues Artist of the Year, blues singer CANDYE KANE
(www.candyekane.com/index.html) underwent a very complicated surgery for
pancreatic cancer last month. Her San Francisco friends are gathering at
Biscuits and Blues in San Francisco on Sunday June 8 with a fundraiser
starring Tommy Castro, Rick Estrin & the Night Cats (formerly Little Charlie
& the Night Cats) with Chris “the kid” Andersen, Miss Carmen Getit & Steve
Lucky of the Rhumba Bums, guitarist Laura Chavez, and many special guests,
to raise money for medical bills and time off from work.
CANDYE KANE’s April surgery included a procedure called “The Whipple,” which took her under the knife for nearly nine hours. Kane awoke happy to be alive and reports that she is starting to heal. That’s good news for longtime fans who know how positive Kane is about life! She is determined to heal properly then get back to singing the blues across America and Europe soon.
The bigger-than-life CANDYE KANE is an award-winning, powerful singer and entertainer. She caught the eye of CBS/Epic Records more than twenty years ago who sought to groom her as a country star. When they learned of her controversial past which included a brief stint in the adult entertainment industry, she was dropped. Lucky for us, Kane went on to discover the blues and found a welcome home there, recording award-winning records with US and European labels. Kane’s long and colorful career includes a stint on The Gong Show, modeling, acting as spokesperson for women’s and gay/lesbian rights, and being an activist in a variety of social causes. Singer, songwriter, and single mother of two, Kane wants to inspire other cancer patient and show that it can be conquered with style!
The high cost of health care affects everyone and is particularly difficult for musicians and artists. And as with many self-employed people, Kane doesn’t have health insurance and has had to cancel months of shows in order to heal. Candye has many friends in the San Francisco Bay Area’s music community, including Tommy Castro, Rick Estrin, Carmen Getit, Laura Chavez and Deb Lubin who are organizing this very special fundraiser for her.
Biscuits & Blues owner Steven Suen has graciously donated the use of his world-famous blues club for the cause. Live auctions during the evening include 'Dinner with Tommy Castro' - what a brave guy!, and 'Fantasy Boobs'
signed by famous blues artists like Pinetop Perkins, plus many great raffle items. It's not too late to donate goods or services for the raffles!
