Brother Cane is an American hard rock band that released three albums in the 1990s. The band was formed in 1990 by singer/guitarist Damon Johnson and bassist Glenn Maxey. Joined by guitarist Roman Glick and drummer Scott Collier, Brother Cane released their self-titled debut album in 1993. After the departure of Maxey, Glick switched to bass while the band added a new guitarist, David Anderson. Their song "And Fools Shine On" from their second album, Seeds, was included in the soundtrack for Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers in 1995. The group disbanded shortly after the release of their final studio album, Wishpool, in 1998.

That same year, a live version of the band's song "Lead My Follow" was featured on a Birmingham, Alabama charitable album titled Live in the X Lounge. The album was released to benefit United Cerebral Palsy of Greater Birmingham, an organization in the band's hometown.

Lead singer Damon Johnson has been involved in numerous projects since the demise of Brother Cane, including Red Halo and more recently Slave to the System, a band that also features Glick as well as long-time Queensrÿche drummer Scott Rockenfield and guitarist/producer Kelly Gray who produced Brother Cane's Wishpool.

In 2005, Brother Cane reunited to perform two shows. A live DVD is also in the works.
