The Cain Gang

The Cain Gang is a band of mature musicians who love playing and our performances reflect that enthusiasm. We play a mix of roots rock, blues, rhythm & blues and classic rock plus a sampling of other genres. Our goal is to have a repetoire that is as fun to listen to as it is to play.
