**Tony Kamel & Rambler Kane live at Eddie's Attic!**
On his new studio album, We’re All Gonna Live, Tony Kamel captures a no frills live-to-tape energy perfectly complimenting the weighty but optimistic subjects encompassed in his character based songs. As the frontman and main songwriter for acclaimed bluegrass band Wood & Wire, Kamel garnered praise throughout the music world for his unique approach to performing, writing, and recording–leading to a GRAMMY nomination for Best Bluegrass Record in 2018. For his debut solo record Back Down Home (2021), he teamed up with legendary songwriter Bruce Robison and his analog based production company, The Next Waltz. It held a #1 spot on the Alt. Country Radio chart, and was on the Americana Charts for several weeks. His shows, both solo and with a full band, showcase his versatility as a multi-instrumentalist and compelling story teller - engaging with the audience, playing guitar and clawhammer banjo for a performance beyond some dude simply singing his songs. Whether it’s a raucous festival crowd, a listening room, or a jam session with musician friends, he finds a way to sync up with the folks he’s in the room with. Produced jointly by Kamel and Robison, We’re All Gonna Live is Kamel’s third record with Blue Corn Music and is due out April 18, 2025.

The first thing you hear when you listen to Rambler Kane is his heart. Pairing a relentless fingerpicking style with a powerful voice, the singer-songwriter from Jacksonville, FL is equal parts classic throwback and modern troubadour, drawing inspiration from some of the art form's trailblazers: Townes Van Zandt, Blaze Foley, and John Prine.
Kane's music is distinctly Americana, combining elements of the country, folk, and blues that have influenced him the most. As Jacksonville Music Experience put it, "Kane has already displayed a penchant for penning the kind of smart country tunes that are capable of touching on a range of human emotion in simple-yet-profound ways."
After first hearing Townes Van Zandt's "Live at the Old Quarter, Houston, Texas," Kane started dreaming of becoming a traveling troubadour. A few short years later and it's a dream that cannot be denied. His first full-length album, "Live at Blue Jay Listening Room" was recorded with a sold-out audience. He has opened for the likes of American Aquarium's BJ Barham, Trampled by Turtles' Dave Simonett, Corey Smith, Matthew Fowler, Leon Majcen, and Clayton Nile Young. His song "Here I Am" was featured by Western AF.
In 2025, Kane is taking to the road in his Ford van - playing anywhere and everywhere he can pick up a show or gig along the way and busking on the sidewalks that feel the friendliest, with his first full-length studio album to follow.
