“Kaye Bohler is a rarity in the world. A singer, with a beautiful, smooth, flexible voice, who writes her own, personal songs and knows how to interpret them at a high level.” Barn Owl Blues, Germany  Few singers have harnessed the power to sing and truly entertain the way Kaye Bohler has. Her songwriting is thought provoking and prolific. Her vocal range is over 3 octaves, capable of operatic arias or Mavis Staple style Soul.  Her authenticity is revealed in her, over 3-decade study of The Blues. The athletic ease and natural sex appeal of the way Kaye dances during her show are abundantly compelling combined with the comfort of her comedic timing, bring an element that is reminiscent of a Vegas Rat Pack show. Her recordings are aptly characterized here by Michael Macomber of Retro Review Magazine,…”I’m telling ya, this lady has more than a little Aretha in her big, beautiful blues belt. She isn’t a sound-alike by any means, but she has that kind of power, that kind of nuance and that kind of emotional resonance. Her stylistic range is impressive too.  Of course, Ms. Bohler is much more than a magnificent set of pipes. It also turns out she’s a killer songwriter...  Once again, her range is incredible…Utterly breathtaking.”   Kaye’s career now spans 4 decades, with 5 albums and three singles recorded, having toured the South West, all over the Pacific North West and Japan, with only the pandemic to interrupt her non-stop 40-year career. She has shared the stage with Bozz Skaggs, Elvin Bishop, Robert Cray, Gatemouth Brown, Irma Thomas, Sista’ Monica, Magic Slim, Pinetop Perkins and Rod Piazza to name a few. The musicians and producers on Kaye’s albums host a wealth of San Francisco Bay Area, L.A. and International celebrities including Robben Ford, Tommy Castro, Danny Caren, Garth Webber and Pete Anderson. Kaye likes to think of herself as a “Mavin of Mid-century Modern American Roots Music.” Her Era of influence is Big Band Swing to late 1970’s Funk. That is reflected in her songwriting as well as the material she covers. She has been a force as her own band leader, whether she steps out with small trio or her 10-piece big band. Dave Faires of the Monterey County Weekly writes, “There is no way to contain Kaye Bohler. She strides across time, not singing but laying down songs, not dressing up but stepping out-bringing the vibe if a different era and making it resonate now. With a voice of whiskey and honey - Bohler is blues and soul, rock and big band, Tina Turner, Etta James, James Brown in one.”  On the journey to find your style, a singer/songwriter travels through many genres and bands, and Kaye’s career has been no different.
