Connect with Tim Cain
In the 25 years since Tim Cain created his band, Boys’ Entrance, he has produced some of Queer Rock’s most iconic, political, and galvanizing music.   The band features Cain on vocals and guitar; his multi-instrumentalist husband, Billy Ramsey on bass; lead guitarist, Jaybo Key; and drummer, John Spinelli.
They’ve experienced acclaim and awards over the years.  In the ‘90s, Boys’ Entrance received two “Rock Single of the Week” reviews in Billboard Magazine.  In 2005, Cain was awarded an OutMusic Award for his 30 year career as a gay musician.  And this past October, The Akademia Awards selected “The Wolf Is At The Door” as the month’s “Best Alternative Rock Song”.  It has now been nominated for Best Alternative Rock Song of the Year for 2016.
Cain is thrilled that Tunnelvision, his magnum opus, will follow The Who’s Tommy with both album and stage versions.   “They will stand alone as separate projects,” he says.  “The album offers the old school idea of sitting down and listening, going somewhere in your mind.  Tunnelvision: The Musical will be a tour de force. It will be filled with lust, drama, sex in parks and naked men.  Yes, naked men! It is a definite must-see!”
