| Earl Thomas & Friends Present the Candye Kane Show Earl Thomas & Friends present the Candye Kane Show Tuesday, February 7, 2006 at Mazzotti's Arcata, Arcata, CA. Candye's live show is the stuff of legend. She honors the bold blues women of the past with both feet firmly planted in the present. She belts -- growls -- shouts -- croons and moans from a lifetime of suffering and overcoming obstacles. She'll deliver a barrelhouse blues tune or a soulful ballad and then slay the crowd with her balls out rendition of "Whole Lotta Love" Led Zeppelin style. She often says she is a "black drag queen trapped in a white woman's body" and she dresses the part. Bedecked in bright colored feathers, sequins and rhinestones, Kane's performance is Mississippi by way of Las Vegas with a quick stopover in San Francisco. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Jazz News :: home page |
