From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Drummer Sim Cain (b. July 31, 1963) was born in London, England but grew up in the United States from the age of three in Princeton, New Jersey.

He is probably best known as a member of the Rollins Band from 1987 to 2000 and he was previously a member of Gone. Before Gone he was in the instrumental band, "Regressive Aid." "Regressive Aid" was considered one of the finest instrumental bands to come from the Central New Jersey / New Hope area.[citation needed] He has also recorded with David Poe, Marc Ribot, and David Shea, and is a regular member of Elliott Sharp's blues-oriented Terraplane group. He also appeared on Ween's 2004 album, Quebec. In the early and mid-2000's, he has appeared regularly in concert with blues guitar great Hubert Sumlin. He was the drummer for the J Geils Band in 1999 for a reunion tour.

As of 2008, Sim plays regularly with the Billy Hector Band, a seminal blues outfit from the New Jersey shore.
