BOSS CAINE

Boss Caine are a folk/Americana collective from York, England. A tight knit, but evolving, line-up of local musicians centred around the songs of front man and 'Yorkshire Cowboy' - Daniel Lucas (aka GT Turbo), a man described as 'having a voice that makes Louis Armstrong sound kinda girly'.

Boss Caine release their debut album: ‘The Ship That Sailed', on independent label Little Num Num Music, in April 2010. The record contains a selection of tunes written by Lucas over the last few years; a time that saw him leave his home town for London, before returning to York and putting together the line-up of local musicians that would become Boss Caine. Years of hard living, hard drinking and love turned sour inform an album that at times visits some quite dark places, but is ultimately carried along by a healthy dose of Northern positivity and stoicism.

The album was recorded in the North Yorkshire countryside at 'The Factory of Unprofessional Sound' and sees Boss Caine's core team of Lucas, Andy Gaines and Sam Forrest joined by many of the musicians who have played in the band over the last few years.

The band are currently booking live shows for the summer. Over the last few years Boss Caine have also shared stages with the likes of Arlo Guthrie, Guillemots, Sam Baker, Alabama 3, The Supersuckers, The Handsome Family, Willard Grant Conspiracy, The Deadstring Brothers, Ash Grunwald, Eve Selis and many more.
