The self-proclaimed "Toughest Girl Alive," blues singer Candye Kane, has been riding high since the 2009 release of her Blues Music Award nominated album Superhero. She's opening up her autobiographical stage musical in New York City next week, courtesy of supporters who funded the show via Kickstarter (including, no doubt, some generous About.com Blues readers!). Her new album, Sister Vagabond, is scheduled for August 16, 2011 release and a lengthy tour in support of the album will follow.
