Taylor, Madison and Logan Cain grew up in Alabama, where their dad was the pastor of a Pentecostal church. The trio's musical career got an early start when, at four years old, Taylor Cain wrote a Christmas song for the them to sing in three-part harmony.
All three were home schooled until they were teenagers, eventually attending their local public high school.[1] After high school, the siblings all attended Troy University in Alabama.[2]
In 2012, the trio entered a contest to open for singer-songwriter Dave Barnes. After winning, they each quit their jobs and moved to Nashville.[3]
CAIN signed with the Provident Label Group, releasing their first EP for the label in early 2020. Not long after the initial release, the EP logged more than 2.5 million streams and brought them to having a single listed on Christian radio charts.[4] The single, "Rise Up (Lazarus)", became a top 10 hit, eventually reaching No. 1 on Billboard's Airplay Chart;[5] the track spent four weeks topping the Billboard Audience based radio chart.[6] The group also recorded a version of "Rise Up (Lazarus)" with Zach Williams.[7]
CAIN was nominated for the We Love Christian Music Awards' Best New Artist of the Year in 2021 and, after nomination, won the K-Love 2021 Fan Award for Breakout Single for the song "Rise Up (Lazarus)".[8] as well as headlining their own nationwide tour in 2023. CAIN's "Live In Color" tour also featured David Leonard and Katy Nichole with 33 cities booked for small to medium venues during Fall 2023.[9] Beginning in January 2024, CAIN joined Jam Nation's "Winter Jam Tour" with Crowder, Katy Nichole, and Newsong for concerts through March 2024 in the Southern and Midwest United States.[10] The group is also booked to appear alongside Chris Tomlin during his "Holy Forever Tour" from April through May 2024.[11]
