[ [http://www.kanemusic.com/bio/index.html Official Site] ] KANE was formed in 1998 by
Christian Kane & Steve Carlson. Both are accomplishedsongwriter s andguitarist s whose passion to create and share their special breed of "outlaw country" soon became aLos Angeles phenomenon .KANE has worked and played with some of the most talented and creative
studio andsession musicians in the business. KANE has very quickly gathered a following unequaled by any L.A. band in theirgenre . KANE has received airplay from #1 LAcountry music station KZLA, been voted the winner of the "2005 Country Thunder Young Guns Contest", been voted one of L.A.'s "100 Hottest Unsigned Bands" by industry magazine "Music Connection", and "Rock City News" and "E Media Wire Service" describe KANE in one word: "Killer."-->
The band has played live shows to rave reviews at venues such as the
Viper Room , King King, Ivar, Universal Citywalk, the Warner Bros. Sizzlin’ Country fundraiser and around theSouthern California area. They have also performed in such varying locales asNorth Carolina ,Texas ,Oklahoma ,Nashville , and most recentlyChicago ,Tampa ,London , andFlorence, Arizona on the main stage at "Country Thunder USA". Despite somewhat limited touring, KANE’s self-released debut CD has sold over 4,500 copies in the US, with almost half those copies selling in countries as far away asMalaysia ,Germany ,Australia andBrazil .Recent trips to
Nashville to hone the band’s songwriting skills have piqued the interest of several high-level industry executives and labels. These visits have also allowed them the opportunity to work with such masters asBilly Barnett ,Kent Blazy ,Blair Daly ,Brett James andTroy Verges ,Jeremy Stover ,Tommy Lee James ,Clay Mills andKeith Follese . Christian’s songwriting talents were further recognized when in 2004 EMI Nashville signed him to a publishing deal. Such a promising response from the music community foretells of great things for KANE. KANE continues to write and record forEMI inNashville , LA and wherever they can in anticipation of shopping the right label deal.Band Members
