any setting. From her powerhouse big band, to the soulful blues
band to her intimate trio, Kaye's style is always authentic and
will always leave you wanting more.
Kaye
Bohler was born in the southern California city of Pomona. Kayes
career began in the early 80s fronting cover bands from San Diego
to Los Angeles, working in duos, trios and various projects. She
sang and danced her way through Japan with The American Can Can
Review. She toured the Nevada casino and resort circuit with the
seven piece show band Capone. At age 26, she discovered the blues
and in her own words When I found the blues, I came
home. After returning to Los Angeles, she formed the Big K
Blues Band, and performed around southern California. In 1993 Kaye
moved north to San Luis Obispo, starting the very successful band
Kaye Bohler and the Kingpins. She sank her teeth into the blues,
developed her songwriting and became a festival performer. She has
shared the stage with and opened for great blues artists including
Charlie Musselwhite, Elvin Bishop, Johnny Johnston, Ronnie Earl,
Rod Piazza, Sista Monica, Magic Slim and Junior Wells. In March
of 1998 the singer/songwriter was invited to join and front the
very popular world-beat band Pele JuJu from San Francisco, performing
in the festival circuit from Texas to California, Oregon and Alaska.
This prompted her move to the San Francisco Bay Area, where she
formed a very strong outfit of new players, The Kaye Bohler Blues
Band. This band, featured here on this CD, exemplifies a culmination
of many years of devotion to the blues form and all of the
greats. In Kaye's words, I feel extremely blessed to
have such seasoned blues men on my team. Kaye Bohler is a
power-house blues woman who has been compared frequently to Tina
Turner, Janis Joplin, Bette Midler and Mick Jagger for her sincere
and genuine strength as a stage performer and rich vocal tones.
Kaye now performs with this band all over central and northern California.
