Chris Cain plays Bluesdays in The Village at Squaw Valley on Tuesday, July 27.
Cain has played at Bluesdays more than any other performer. During the lockdown, he signed with Alligator Records and his album, “Raisin’ Cain” has remained high on the blues charts for months.
“That little gig at Squaw Valley has been one of the real joys of my playing days,” Cain said. “I’ve never played anywhere where everybody’s so happy. My band is like a bunch of flowers and if you put water on them, they just bloom. Those folks there are just so receptive to stuff. My band just played their brains out when they’d go there.”
