"Shines Like Silver" has something for everyone: Spirited Irish fiddle tunes, American folk melodies and a few worldbeat tunes for those of you who like to groove.
It features the vibrant fiddle playing of Cady Finlayson, enhanced by the artistry of some of Nashville's top musicians: Elkin Brown-acoustic guitar, Hunter Lee-uillean pipes,tin whistle, Jim Roberts-percussion, Tim O'Brien-mandolin, Kevin Ryan-bagpipes, Dan Immel-double bass.
Cady Finlayson's musical background includes classical training (Mannes College of Music), Irish fiddling, and a deep connection to the American folk music of her childhood.
Based in New York City, She fronts a five-piece Irish band and has performed in 24 states and at Irish festivals across the country. Her side projects include the soundtrack to an Irish aerobics DVD, a multi-genre fiddle show, "Fiddlers on the Loose" (Da PhatFunk Clique/Elektra Kurtis), and the Celtic Sisters show with Welsh singer Jodee James.
Cady has performed as the fiddle soloist for the Police Pipes and Drums of Bergen County, performing in their shows at Cleveland's State Theatre, The Jacob Javits Center, and Carnegie Hall.
Her latest CD, Harp and Shamrock, features traditional Irish tunes with world music influences and is featured in Irish baseball film, "The Emerald Diamond". The Harp and Shamrock CD is also available from Cdbaby.
