Cindy Cashdollar - Austin-based Dobro and steel guitarist Cindy Cashdollar's career has taken some surprising twists and turns that have led her to work with many of the leading artists in contemporary music including Rod Stewart, Van Morrison, Ryan Adams, Bob Dylan, Asleep at the Wheel, Garrison Keillor, Marcia Ball, Jorma Kaukonen, Leon Redbone, BeauSoliel, Daniel Lanois, and Redd Volkaert. Cindy's unerring ability to perfectly complement a song or step out with a tasteful, imaginative, and exciting solo - and to do it in so many musical genres - has made her one of the most in-demand musicians on the American roots music scene. Her debut CD, "Slide Show", features guest artists comprising a Who's Who of the contemporary roots scene.

Rick McRae - I guess I am a total guitar nut. I love all the different aspects and sounds that they make. Guess that is why I have so many guitars. I like to play my electric classical guitar a lot too. I have recently started to learn more bluegrass flat-picking too. That will keep a man busy. Early influences
....Bob Wills....Buck Owens....Merle Haggard. ....All the musicians on the country shows on TV and the great road bands like Ernest Tubb's, Bob Wills and Hank Thompson's. Country and swing heroes ....Johnny Gimble, Roy Clark, Roy Nichols, Phil Baugh, Chet Atkins, Leon McAulif, Leon Rhodes..etc.

His boogie-woogie styling is known to audiences around the world, and has even been heard in outer space by way of George Strait's #1 hit, "Ace In The Hole", which was beamed up to the crew of the space shuttle Columbia in a wake-up call. Floyd joined Asleep at the Wheel at the age of 19, and was featured on their first Grammy winning recording, Count Basie's One O'Clock Jump.
