CAKE is an outsider – defiantly cutting their own path. Both their music and their way of operating in the evolving marketplace are fueled by the same core principles of self-reliance, democracy, and integrity that inspired their formation. “We’re using the processes that we have always used,” explains lead singer John McCrea, “but we’ve got different tools now. The intellectual and emotional components are consistent, but the scenario and the scale are always changing.” These values continue to flourish, expanding in new directions and roles. The combination of McCrea's captivating amalgam of Jonathan Richman, David Byrne, & Woody Guthrie – off-kilter yet strangely relatable – with CAKE's shambolic country funk has taken the world by storm
