Making a Scene Presents Gerry Casey's Interview with Austin Walking Cane
Austin Walkin’ Cane plays what he proudly calls “Damn Fine Blues” — a gritty, soulful mix of original songs and classic Delta blues built around slide guitar, raw vocals, and the deep pull of American roots music. Whether performing solo, as a duo, or with a full electric band, Cane brings the spirit of Highway 61 to the stage with a sound that feels lived-in rather than recreated.
A singer, songwriter, and slide guitarist with decades on the road, Austin Walkin’ Cane has carried his music far beyond the Mississippi Delta. His touring history includes performances across Australia, Nepal, Colombia, France, Germany, England, Wales, and throughout the United States, from New Orleans to Juneau, Alaska. For much of that journey, all he needed was a guitar, a suitcase, and enough road ahead to keep moving.
