Ashley MacIsaac - Crossover

One of the most celebrated Canadian roots musicians of all time, Ashley MacIsaac has accomplished the kind of success that most artists can only dream of. Having sold in excess of 500,000 albums, MacIsaac has garnered international acclaim by playing the fiddle in that hard�nosed, traditional Cape Breton style, while adding his own spin, mixing genres and updating Celtic music to appeal to a broader spectrum of fans.Considered something of a local legend and prodigy by the time of his impressive 1992 debut 'Close To The Floor', MacIsaac broke through to the mainstream with the double�platinum genre�bending 'How Are You Today?' in 1995.Ever the eccentric, he earned headlines for outlandish behavior, then finally settled down and married his partner, and began performing again - including a spot on the internationally televised opening ceremonies for the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. After a few experimental and traditional albums, MacIsaac is once again exploring the same ground that drove his most successful album, with the contemporary sounding new album 'Crossover'.Recorded in Toronto, New York, Halifax and Vancouver, the album features MacIsaac on vocals with contributions from Daniel Rey, Quinn Bachand, Mary Jane Lamond and John Kanakis. Released in his native Canada in 2012, 'Crossover' is now available internationally.
