Live report and photos by Erik Hernandez

Jasmine Cain arrived in Nashville via Sturgis, South Dakota in 2003. Raised in a country lifestyle amidst bike culture, she remains true to her roots, playing the bike circuit. She delivers her vision doused in Rock n Roll! She and her band blend hard and heavy rock with metal, and pop elements, creating a sound all her own. She has won more than 30 music awards and recently released her 8 th studio record titled Attitude is Everything.

On March 16th, I went to Jasmine Cain’s album release party just outside of Nashville, at a little bar called Shooters. In true Jasmine Cain fashion, bikers and regular patrons alike were present to show support for their hometown heroine.

As soon as Jasmine took the stage, she honored her fallen friends by having the crowd toast in their honor, showing that not only is she a badass onstage, but also within her soul, the crowd obliged.

She incorporated many songs from her discography, including Nightingale, Highway Prophet, and Be Brave. Every song was getting the same reaction from the crowd, they wanted MORE!

Jasmine and her band also performed the entire new album and from front to back, it was nothing less than spectacular! The title track from her newest record, Attitude is Everything, was a personal favorite of mine for the night. Jasmine’s music is so multi layered that it’s impossible to put her into any sub-genre, simply meaning that when you go to her show, be ready for kick ass Rock n Roll from someone who has earned her place among the very best out there.

Head Bitch in Charge, also off her new record had the crowd screaming for more and then, in pure Jasmine Cain style, she pulls out a Pantera cover of Cowboys from Hell! It isn’t easy to pull that off, and sound great, but then, everybody isn’t jasmine Cain! I let her know after the show that her version rivals that of Pantera’s, her reply…Nobody is as good as Pantera!

The show was amazing, the band was amazing, and the house was full for Jasmine’s home show. A true testimony that her style and sound has reached the hearts of so many. Catch Jasmine on tour this year. For dates, merch, and news, go to http://www.jasminecain.com

Erik
