Alternative soul with the heart of an angel, guitar of the devil & a voice that covers everything. It was clear that music was in his blood.
BOBBY KANE was born in Brooklyn, NY, and was immediately immersed in music. Some of his earliest memories were of being moved to tears just hearing his mother sing in the other room. By the age of three, he was already banging cacophonously at his favorite uncle's guitar. At times he could be heard picking out tunes - with one finger - on any piano he was allowed to play. And with every trip to ch
urch he was drawn more and more to the rich tonality of Gospel music. Though at school he started out in the horn section, Bobby now specializes in guitar and vocals - plus he'll dabble in drums or keys for some compositions. His own music is mostly secular, but the influence of Gospel can be found hidden deep within his songwriting. It mixes seamlessly with Jazz, Blues, Classic Rock, Alternative, and Soul stylings to create a cohesive body of work that some have referred to as "Alternative Soul." A versatile artist, Bobby performs both his own work and covers in all these genres, as well as Metal, Country, and Rockabilly, solo and with a variety of bands - and has even helped create a bright new style dubbed "Afro-billy." Determined to deliver the best possible sound, he has added production, mixing, and mastering to his repertoire. With a deft touch to every nuance of the creative process, Bobby combines his deep love of lush chord structures and mid tempo, contemplative musicality with his propensity for building momentum, musical tension, and resolving without resolve, to create a Bobby Kane Masterpiece. Having shared the stage with some amazing musicians like Jimmy "Preacher" Robins, Bobby Steele (The Misfits), and Abe Hampton (Nephew of Jazz Great Lionel Hampton), Bobby found that the challenge of keeping up with pros helped him to better appreciate jumping into the deep end and learning on the gig. It's a tough road for a self-taught musician. Bobby travels that road with a style all his own.
Tell me your favorite song to lift your spirits. I’ve been struggling pretty hard lately. More and more bad news from my doctors has been piling up on me. I haven’t been able to process before the next bit hits me. I need a pick-me-up. Also… share some love with someone random. You never know who could use it.
Here’s a chance to learn how truly geeky I am. Have you met my buddy, Lestrade? Can you guess who I named him after?
I’m that kind of geek.
This photo keeps popping up at the oddest times. I love it. Such a great memory with such great people. We need to do this again.
Maybe I should have gone through with the whole Pro Wrestling thing. Thoughts?
My baby girl turns 11 today. What better way to celebrate than the best kind of boat trip possible.
I’m working on more and more music. What are you up to?
Have you gone to listen? Have you seen the video? If not, what are you waiting for? If yes, feel free to do it again. This time play it for a friend or twelve.
Have you ever been so deep in thought that you manifest tiny Elder Gods?

I can’t believe this was 14 years ago. Before the kids. Before the empire. Love is the most magical thing in the world.
Truth. I love this human.
Enjoying some puppy love.
No matter who you are, you are loved. We can attest to that. My lovely wife has proven that to me for around fifteen years. She hasn’t run screaming into the sunset. That’s love. Trust me. And, if you feel unloved, come to me. I don’t have to know you to love you. Because…

I want to petition the networks for a Shannon Darcy Animated Series.
But seriously. I think I just finished editing this video. Now it's just a waiting game. Have you accomplished anything awesome today? Let me know.
You’ve got to go check out this playlist. Trust me on this. These people are super talented.
𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 - 𝐉𝐮𝐥𝐲 𝟕, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒
This Wicked Playlist will have you under its spell... before you realize!
If you're looking for a place to discover your new favorite indie song, LOOK RIGHT HERE! This is that place. Save the playlist to your library, stream it every few days and share it to spread the love! Who knows, maybe the next artist selected will be YOU!
HOW IT WORKS: It's an ever-evolving collection of 10 songs. Each artist who is added to the list gets to pick the next song. For example, Morino has selected Shannon Darcy's "Just Worried Because". It's now Shannon's turn to select the next song (to be added next week)!
Currently the playlist features the following fantastic tracks:
Bobby Kane - "Riding Shotgun Through the Gates of Hell"
Finding Parnell Band- "The Leaves"
NOPitch- "Don't Go (The universe is vast)"
Shannon Darcy - "Freak Show"
Taylor D - "Can't say I love you"
Lauren Alvarez Music- "Without You"
Histheory - "Lost Orbit"
Eloie - "Hibernate"
Morino - "I Ain't Gonna Let You Fall"
Shannon Darcy - "Just Worried Because"
That's right we have a "DOUBLE DARCY" situation...and I'm not even mad about it! Shannon Darcy has become the first artist to be included on the Perpetual Playlist TWICE!
One final note: To keep the playlist at 10 total songs, the oldest song is removed each time we add a new one, but every song that has ever been featured on the playlist can be found on the PerpetuWall page of our website!

Who are MY top 5 influences? 🤔 sheesh. Why is that such a hard question for me to answer? Who are YOUR top 5 influences? Huh? How about that? 😁
I got a recent influx of questions on my processes. I thought it might be cool to give some more public answers. This one, about songwriting, was one that came up quite a bit. So… here ya go. I hope this is helpful.
