"Walkin' Cane" is a blues singer, songwriter and slide guitarist that performs acoustic solo, duo & electric band sets. Walkin' Cane has travelled all over the country, acquired various blues/instrumentalist awards and performed over 300+ gigs a year for over 15 years (except in 1996 when his left leg was amputated below the knee). Austin "Walkin' Cane" is proud to be sponsored by National Reso-phonic Guitars, Dr Z Amplifiers & Ernie Ball Strings.
"Walkin' Cane's" latest cd, "Murder of a Blues Singer", was inspired by an after hour diner conversation with blues legend Robert Jr. Lockwood. "The stories were flowing like the grease off our plates", subsequently the album is saturated in classic delta blues, as were the tales of the demise of Lockwood's stepfather, Robert Johnson.
