Kane makes triumphant return

The Monday night blues series continues Sept. 26 with Candye Kane playing from 7 to 10 p.m. in the upstairs music room of Time Out Pub, 275 Main St. Admission will be $15.

Kane has been called a survivor, a superhero and the toughest girl alive (all are also titles of her self-penned songs.) They are apt descriptions of the jump blues singer, songwriter and mother of two from East Los Angeles who has earned this moniker the hard way. Nominated for five National Blues Awards, including for Best Contemporary Blues Female 2011; winner of 10 San Diego Music Awards; starring in a sold-out stage play about her life; and beating down pancreatic cancer in the last two years, Kane is one tough cookie.
