Brad Sysko Kidd Interviews Wild Will Kruse of The Cane Gang!



Brad Sysko Kidd Chats with Wild Will Kruse of The Cane Gang!

BSK -K so the first bio interview for the Cane Gang I thought we would start with Co-founder
and inspiration to create The Cane Gang. Wild Will Kruse! 
let's get to it!  first Q, What are your influences and what got you into music?

Will- I was born into a musical family. My Mom was a Professional musician in Calgary in the 1980s,
 and she taught us how to sing and play a wide variety of instruments,
 as well as write our own songs from a very young age.

            I listened to a lot of classic outlaw Country, bluegrass, and Celtic music growing up.
 I was named after the accordion player for the Irish Rovers,
 but I'd have to say my greatest musical influence besides my mom was Johnny Cash.
 I loved the train-like tempo and wholesome lyrics of his songs, and as I grew older,
 I found my singing voice was well suited to his music.

BSK- I can see now where you found your voice how would you describe your
 passion to move forward?

Will -I believe it is important for myself and others to share their talents with the world.
 In my years of playing professionally, I've seen many people uplifted, comforted,
 and inspired by my music, and I hope to continue spreading that influence through live shows and recordings.

 Music is a healing thing: it helps heal me when I make music, and it heals those who hear it,
 so I aim to let as many people hear it as I can for as long as I am able.

BSK -In your eyes does the Cane gang give you hope to help you reach more people with your message of positive influence?

Will -Yes it does, and it also provides a means to help other aspiring musicians
 do what I do by giving them encouragement and support in the development of their talents
 as well as a network platform through which to share it with the world.

BSK - You are a man of faith for sure one way the other are you confident
 with taking on people that might not see eye to eye ?

Will - Of course. No one likes having a belief forced upon them.
 I don't like it when people do that to me, and I strive not to be that way to others.
 My beliefs affect the way I live, but I don't believe in demanding that others live exactly like me.

BSK - Well said good sir and you know I give ya the tough questions but apparently not tough for you!
 .. The toughest question and everyone gets it but I am survive have talked about it
 but tell the people what you would do in a zombie apocalypse??

Will - Hey now, that's supposed to be top secret!
 Haha, Just kidding. My plan is to find a secluded place somewhere in the wilderness to which to go with
 as many members of our gang as I can muster and build a fortified settlement
 where the Gang can survive and assist other survivors.

 I would use my extensive training in agriculture and outdoor survival
 to forage and grow food, and we would hunt for wild game and defend ourselves
 using our currently accumulated arsenal of guns, swords, knives, and traps.

BSK - Fucking eh!! Thanks for chatting Brother!! Cheers!
