“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.”
”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.”
“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.”
“Bohler is to the Blues what Carol King was (and is) to singer-songwriters: an introspective songwriter, with a gutsy, impossible to ignore voice.” And Fabrizio Poggi of Fab Radio in Italy says, “A Great and unforgettable voice! A large and beautiful voice to Kaye Bohler, a voice that is not easily forgotten. Described as a “White Tina Turner. Hearing is believing.”
“Handle The Curves” is a winner! With 10 original tunes, and a fabulous voice Kaye asks us that question? Apparently, she can, and more! With multi-Grammy winner, and ace guitarist, Pete Anderson producing and playing guitar on the CD it is done right! Kaye can love talk you, or powerfully tell you how it is, with that great voice she has! The CD is truly a showcase piece for a fine singer. Kaye has been performing for over 30 years, and this CD shows it. It is brassy, and sassy, and right to the money. Not complicated, but funky to soulful to blues in your face. The CD has that Memphis sound with its horn arrangements. Which, by the way, are written by Lee Thornburg from the Tonight Show. With horns on every track! The guitar work is great, the horn section is money, and the extra bonus is the heart, grit, soul, and love of Kaye herself!”
For many years I would look forward to Labor Day Weekend. I would listen to the Blues by The Bay Festival in Eureka, California broadcast over the Internet on Humboldt County’s WHUM. That was the first time I ever heard Kaye Bohler.

Bohler’s music is the funk, rock, and soul that results is the bluesy emotion of Janis Joplin or Elvin Bishop. Her influences include Tina Turner, Albert King, and Dinah Washington. Frank-John Hadley of Downbeat Magazine once said “Bohler is a belter who stands firmly in the Blues tradition and yet can turn on a dime into Soul sophistication.” Bohler has a three octave range. Her voice has been described as a mixture of “whiskey and honey”.

A very short almost Beatlesque intro quickly turns into a Memphis sound on the opening track “Diggin on My Man” which sets the pace for this album. “The Way I Do Business”, sports a great lyric “I don’t need nobody causing me strife, that’s the way I do business, that’s the way I do life”. “Bubble Gum” gets the full Stax-Hi Records treatment and it’s just great. “Handle The Curves”, the title track, is a slow blues with a sexy horn arrangement and a nice guitar solo from Black. “Backbone” gives us some more of Bohler’s advice on life. “Party Time” includes a commanding guitar solo from Anderson. “Slayed” is Al Green inspired and includes great sax from Dzibula. “It’s The Blues” is influenced by Muddy Waters. “Family is Found” is touching “cause family is found in the friends I find”.

Perhaps “Don’t Take My Hope Away” sums it up completely. This is a Stax styled production, “I gave up babies, money and security too, and in my line of work finding a man ain’t been easy to do, so who are you to judge me, and rain on my parade, if you can’t love me, don’t you take my hope away”. This is a wonderful album and Bohler is a great talent.

Bohler writes about “real woman stuff”. Her first cd was 2000’s “Men and Music”. Her last independently released album was 2009’s “Like a Flower”. For this, her fifth album, Bohler has written all ten songs and her songwriting reflects her knowledge and creativity. The band on this recording includes Grammy winning Executive Producer/guitarist Pete Anderson; Kelly Black, guitar; producer Michael Murphy, keyboards; John Paul or Jeff Sorenson, drums; and the horn section of Lee Thornburg, trumpet and trombone; and Ron Dzibula, saxophone. All of the horn arrangements are by Thornburg. The session is recorded, engineered and mixed by co-producer Tony Rambo.
