Christian Band Strives for Music that Points Back to the Truth
By Marie
Christian music band, Cain, has worked with some of the biggest names in the industry, and they put what they’ve learned into practice as they headline their “Live and In Colour Tour” with Katy Nichole and David Leonard.
“Honestly, it’s been a dream come true to spend time with people that I know all of their songs,” said Madison Cain Johnson, one of the three members of Cain. “I feel like it started just like, ‘I’m a huge fan. Don’t point at them when they walk in the room.’ That’s how it started, and then it was really cool to develop a friendship and learn from some of these people.”
One value they learned was how to support each other when on the road. When Cain toured with Casting Crowns, Johnson’s baby was only 7 weeks old. Johnson was given extra hotel and dressing room space, and everyone was very accommodating to her needs.
“Because of that we wanted to make sure that as headliners, the culture that we’ve made in our tour is that we want to be so accommodating to the people who are with us — David Leonard, Katy Nichole, our crew. We just want to make sure that they feel so valued for what they bring to the table,” Johnson said.
However, simply because they’ve learned from these veterans doesn’t mean they are copying everything they do. Typical tours have an opening act, a middle, an intermission and then the headliner. Cain is going to mix it up and add a different kind of fun.
The members of Cain are siblings from Hartselle. Their father, Charley Cain, was a traveling singer and local pastor.
The Cain children began singing at a very young age and became the worship band for their father’s ministry. They ended up going to the same college, Troy University, where they continued perfecting their craft.
