Austin-based Dobro and steel guitarist Cindy Cashdollar's career
has taken some surprising twists and turns that have led her to 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, BeauSoleil,
Daniel Lanois, Redd Volkaert, and Dave Alvin.
Cindy's unerring ability to 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. Cindy was inducted into the Texas Steel
Guitar Hall Of Fame in 2011 and The Texas Music Hall Of Fame in 2012.
Cindy first heard the unique sliding sound of the
Dobro in her hometown of Woodstock, New York where she honed her skills
playing with bluegrass legend John Herald, blues great Paul Butterfield,
Levon Helm and Rick Danko of The Band, and many others who lived in the
small but musically hip Catskill mountain town. Eight years and thousands
of miles on the road with the premier western swing group Asleep At The
Wheel helped her introduce the classic sounds of the non-pedal steel to
enthusiastic audiences worldwide, and brought her five Grammy Awards and
opportunities to work with musicians of the caliber of Willie Nelson,
Merle Haggard, Dolly Parton and The Dixie Chicks. National Public Radio
listeners can catch her frequent guest appearances on Garrison Keillor's
live radio program, "A Prairie Home Companion".
Cindy Cashdollar - Dobro Variations - DVD
Explorations in Minor, Swing and Rockabilly
Styles. Cindy
builds your knowledge of the Dobro style-by-step, teaching alternate tunings, bar
and picking techniques and terrific arrangements for blues, minor key and
western swing tunes. A major highlight of this DVD is that each piece is slowed
down, with Cindy and the band providing rhythmic backup so you can practice your
lead playing. Cindy's in-depth study of minor chord shapes and licks will enable
you to play Django Reinhardt's great "Minor Swing" and just about any tune that
requires improvisation in minor keys. In the classic "Panhandle Rag" she shows
how playing in an open G6 tuning gives you an instant country/swing sound. On
this DVD, Cindy turns the Dobro into a funky, hard-driving lead instrument. "
Faded Love", the classic fiddle piece of the Bob Wills era of traditional
country swing, is a "must" for any player who wants a full command of the Dobro's repertoire. This clear and insightful lesson will expand your range
of ideas and teach you important music theory that will make you a more versatile
all-around player.
