TIM
CAIN Tim Cain has been an out musician for over 30 years, claiming, "They never built a closet big enough to hold me." He began as a singer/songwriter in 1975 in his native central Illinois home town of Champaign/Urbana. While in college he met Jon Ginoli, lead singer of Pansy Division. Cain was the first queer musician Ginoli knew, and soon the two became lovers. In 1987 Cain moved to Chicago, and Ginoli moved to San Francisco. In Chicago, Cain started work on his first solo material; one day passing a school house with the carving "Boys Entrance" above the door. He thought, "That sounds like a band I should be in." Boys' Entrance was the first queer rock band in Chicago, releasing two full-length CD's, and 4EP's. They paid homage to Harry Hay, Princess Diana, and Chicagoan activist/writer, Jon-Henri Damski. Their songs confronted homophobia, both within and from outside the gay community and they championed those on the fringes of gender. In 1992, Cain traveled to New York to perform at Outmusic's open mic and was so impressed was by the spirit of camaraderie and support that he returned to Chicago and promptly started Chicago's Outmusic open mic, hosting for the first year. Cain is in the process of recording 3 new CD's: a disc of all new Boys' Entrance songs, a disc of instrumentals, and a disc of covers. The new Boy's Entrance material should begin to be released late in the year.
