Boss Caine was initially a name that York cowboy GT Turbo used for his solo acoustic material having split from the now legendary punk rock and rollers THE NOSEDIVERS.
Having moved to London and started writing what would become Boss Caine songs he recorded and gigged with friends from Sevenball and Dave Greaves around the capital. After a year in the big smoke GT moved back up north and started up Dusk's now legendary, Sunday night open mic night. This, and many gigs at Fibbers Barfly, introduced him to many kindred spirits from a now buzzing York scene. Members of great bands such as Cardboard Radio, The Yards, The Federals, Colour of fire etc.. all passed thru the acoustic scene alongside world weary storytelling buskers and bedroom songwriters. Before long the bond of musical friendship between some of these people led, via many an all-night jam session, to Boss Caine as it is now!
Encountering local musician Adam Rogowski busking GT realised it was time to take the haphazard sprawling Boss Caine collaborative talent pool to the next level. They started gigging together and loving each others older material, started out on some new stuff. The wealth of songs they now have to draw on is immense, as is the list of people wanting to join them as they record these ventures and kick out the jams the world over.
In the last year Boss Caine have shared the stage with, amongst others: THE GUILLEMOTS, THE SUPERSUCKERS, ALABAMA 3, THE DEADSTRING BROTHERS, CHRIS STILLS, CORB LUND, WILLARD GRANT CONSPIRACY, LAURA VEIRS, GINA VILLALOBOS, MOSTLY AUTUMN and things just keep getting better for them!

"Angst ridden dylan-esque lyrics,raw brash style and oozing charisma,individuality and rock and roll attitude!" - BBC N.Yorks
"A serious and established rock n’roll band. Very clever smooth acoustic guitar work gives way to some slick rock drums. The songs are true to the country and bluegrass aesthetic, well crafted lyrics, going from country and bluegrass to almost stadium rock!" - The talk Magazine
"Songs dont recognise time. Or fashion. Or you, or me. They just ARE. They just IS. Boss Caine dont write songs. Songs write them. Boss Caine are the conduit through which Robert Johnson & Hank Williams transmit ancient soulful melodies. Boss Caine are punks. Theyll fuck you up if you cross em, and they dont give a shit. Boss Caine are a buncha hippies, and the nicest cats youll ever meet. Buy em a drink or something. Shake their hands. Kiss their feet. Just dont kiss their ass!" - Paul FuzzTo See Live videos of Boss Caine in action Click HERE
