Gary Cain’s third album, “Outside The Lines,” transcends genre boundaries with a fusion of blues, rock, and funk, showcasing his exceptional guitar prowess and insightful songwriting. Recorded and mixed in Austin, Texas, the album serves as a testament to Cain’s evolution as both an artist and an individual, marked by personal loss and a relentless pursuit of authenticity.

The album’s genesis stems from the profound impact of Cain’s father’s passing in 2023, a transformative event that imbued his music with newfound depth and urgency. Tracks like “Ain’t Giving Up” and “Keep On Walking” channel this emotional intensity, delivering powerful narratives underscored by Hendrixian riffs and raw, unbridled energy.

“Outside The Lines” challenges traditional blues norms, inviting listeners on a journey beyond the expected. Cain’s willingness to color outside the lines, as evidenced in the poignant track “Blues Enough,” may initially surprise purists, but it ultimately serves as a testament to his artistic vision and integrity.

Throughout the album, Cain’s guitar prowess shines brightly, delivering exhilarating solos and intricate melodies reminiscent of blues legends like Stevie Ray Vaughan and Albert King. Yet, it’s his ability to blend genres seamlessly that sets “Outside The Lines” apart, offering a refreshing take on familiar themes.
In the face of personal loss and uncertainty, Cain emerges stronger and more determined than ever, crafting an album that not only pushes musical boundaries but also resonates deeply with the listener. “Outside The Lines” is not just an album; it’s a testament to resilience, creativity, and the enduring power of music.

In summary, “Outside The Lines” is not just a departure from Cain’s previous works; it’s a bold statement of artistic identity and resilience in the face of adversity. Whether you’re a blues aficionado or a fan of eclectic musical journeys, this album is a must-listen.

Gary Cain is one of the most exciting guitar-slingers on the blues scene today. As a child he spent entire days in his parents’ basement learning AC/DC songs note-for-note on a cheap classical guitar. “Eventually I think they thought ‘It’s time to get him into lessons.’ I still laugh when I think back to me as a 12-year old kid trying to explain to my Mom the intricacies of Angus Young’s solo on the live version of Whole Lotta Rosie.”

After studying guitar at Humber College’s world-renowned music program, he played in several bands, eventually landing a gig in Dubai in the house band for The Lodge, one of Dubai’s largest nightclubs. The four-sets-a-night, six-nights-a-week pace eventually led to a vocal injury that sidelined him. “I wasn’t sure what to do, no one seemed to be able to tell me what the problem was. When I finally got into see a specialist that could tell me, it was a relief to know it was something I could come back from.” Now, back in action with a style he calls Twang-a-Delic Blues-o-Phunk, he’s backed by a rhythm section featuring two incredibly well-rounded, experienced, and talented musicians. “It’s great to be able to play with guys that can draw from so many styles. It gives us a lot of freedom to stretch out of the typical blues box and into a lot of cool different places.”

In 2016 Gary placed 4th in the world in the blues category of Grammy Winner Lee Ritneour’s Six String Theory guitar competition, judged by such greats as Joe Bonamassa, Ry Cooder, and Joe Satriani. He is also an Official Fractal Artist.
