	Ashley MacIsaac - Bio
		The result is Ashley MacIsaac, the Cape Breton wonder’s debut on Decca, a panoramic musical journey that features Ashley’s strongest playing to date, and also sees the famed instrumentalist singing on six(!) cuts.
		Ashley’s follow-up, Fine, Thank You Very Much was a more traditional but no less original outing that delivered on the promise of his debut, and he again blazed through a tour that included a now-notorious appearance on “Late Night With Conan O’Brien” during which the obstreperous Ashley flashed the cameras in his kilt.
		Whether Ashley ever threatens George Clooney’s matinee-idol status remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: Ashley MacIsaac is a stunning testament of a singularly talented artist at the top of his game.

		MacIsaac, who had just entered his senior year of high school, was playing at a square dance, and in the audience was JoAnne Akalaitis, the New York theatre director, who has a home on the island.
		MacIsaac seemed embarrassed that so much effort was being expended on his behalf, but he sat quietly and let the sound engineer do his work.

		Ashley MacIsaac is in a sense, the musical representative of the pre-millennial generation of Eastern Canada.
		MacIsaac has unarguably put his own spin on the sounds he was brought up with.
		Produced by Ron Lopata and John JK Kanakis, the album is a bold step in a new direction - for the first time Ashley has abandoned his fiddle in the studio and has delivered a remarkable album, emerging as a singer-songwriter with a pop-rock edge.

	CD Baby: ASHLEY MACISAAC: Hi How Are You Today
		On April 30, 2004, Ashley signed to Linus Entertainment for the world, who will be issuing 5 albums from Ashley's catalog, a new live album to be released on Sept. 14th, and in 2005 a new studio album.
		Ashley MacIsaac has the manic genius of a true musical explorer, forever breaking rules that most musicians don't even know exist; yet his efforts are grounded in a complete mastery of the traditional music of Cape Breton and the Maritimes.
		But in Ashley MacIsaac's "Hi How Are You Today," there is a distinct, free-for-all, playfully carefree character and composite quality that, while it definitely keeps you on your toes stylistically, it comes at you as a single, original style.

		MacIsaac’s recent New Year’s Eve performance at a rave in Halifax ended with him leaving the stage only 20 minutes into his 70 minute set, after yelling profanities and racial remarks into the audience.

		Maclsaac, Ashley Dwayne, musician, composer (b at Antigonish, NS, 24 Feb 1975).
		While he continued to play live and also had a few small acting roles during the late 1990s, he was more frequently in the news with reports of unusual behaviour.
		Apparently, much of this conduct could be explained by his problems with substance abuse, about which he spoke openly upon the release of his Helter's Celtic album in the fall of 1999.

		Cape Breton fiddler Ashley MacIsaac is as schizophrenic as ever on his self-titled first release for Decca.
		MacIsaac's strength has always been in his forceful fiddle playing, and this translates best in his updates of the traditional "Chorus Jig" and "Bog an Login," but the songs he has decided to test his own singing voice on fare less well.
		Overall, as MacIsaac continues to push the boundaries of Celtic fusion he continues to hit and miss, and on this album the interesting textures and adept playing don't always make up for what the songwriting and singing lack.

	Amazon.com: Ashley MacIsaac: Music: Ashley MacIsaac (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Ashley MacIsaac seems to be able to combine the Celtic music I would like with the catchiness of the Irish music my father would enjoy in a well balanced compilation of Celtic-American music.
		Ashley uses some female guest vocalists which gives nice variety to this set: Lisa MacIsaac on "Save Me From Tomorrow," Mary Jane Lamond doing a sprightly Gaelic chorus on "To America We Go," and Lara Gray on "This Is My Father." It was a PBS segment that made me aware of Ashley's new CD.
		Ashley, I'm sorry buddy, you're new CD sounds like Duncan Sheik decided to create a country-pop masterpiece that appealed to the same folks who bought the latest from Edgar Meyer and Joshua Bell thinking it was pure-drop bluegrass.

		Ashley MacIsaac is an incredibly talented fiddle player, one of the best I have ever heard.
		MacIsaac is a rock artist who happens to do his solos on fiddle instead of guitar, and the songs just happen to be pretty old.
		Ashley MacIsaac is, in my opinion, one of the best fiddle players around, and knocks the tradition on its ear for fun.

		The four songwriters in the group channeled their touring and traveling experience to write and hone songs which became their debut album: Once A World ; a genius manifestation of their virtuosity.
