Susanna’s Kitchen will be kicking off their 2005/2006 Season September
15, 7:30 p.m. with the High Flyers! The High Flyers are a trio
made up of the talents of Elana Fremerman, Redd Volkaert and Cindy
Cashdollar. Don’t miss this incredible opportunity to see great
talent close to home in the hill country!
Formerly the driving force behind the hot jazz/Western swing trio Hot
Club of Cowtown, violinist and singer Elana Fremerman is an
internationally acclaimed performer who has been featured at countless
major concerts and music festivals worldwide. Most recently Elana has
teamed up with Bob Dylan as part of his touring band, the first female
instrumentalist to do so in thirty years. Elana is also a regular guest
on NPR's A Prairie Home Companion and has been a featured guest on
television and radio shows including WSM's Grand Ole Opry, NPR's All
Things Considered, World Cafe, Mountain Stage, E-Town Live, and many
others. One of the youngest members ever to be inducted into the Texas
Western Swing Hall of Fame, Elana makes her home in Austin, Texas.
Redd Volkaert is an amazing talent, having traveled and played across
the country, LA, Nashville, and now Austin. He played guitar with
Merle Haggard 1997-2002. “Since I got here to Austin in 2000, I've been
playing in clubs around town, with my own little band and some others,
doing some recording and TV work as well, and periodically flying to
Nashville to record, doing some guitar clinics here and there. Mostly
I've got to play with some fantastic players, live and on digital tape
here in Texas. I jammed with some great players too. There's a lot of
great music right here in Texas, I just wish I'd come here sooner!”
What makes steel guitar and Dobro player Cindy Cashdollar’s musical
journey stand out is a combination of restless creativity and an
uncanny ability to understand and add to a wild array of styles.
She has worked with the likes of Leon Redbone, Graham Parker, Bob Dylan
(on his Grammy winning “Time out of Mind” CD), Jorma Kaukonen, Peter
Rowan, and the stellar Cajun group BeauSoleil. As the steel
guitarist for eight years with western swing kingpins Asleep at the
Wheel, she logged many more additional road miles and won five
Grammies. Their critically acclaimed “A Tribute of the Music of
Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys” and “Ride with Bob” CD’s afforded
Cindy the chance to work with some of the premier country artists of
our time, including Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Dolly Parton, George
Strait, and the Dixie Chicks.
Cashdollar (it's a real name) was born and raised in the infamous
Catskill Mt. town of Woodstock, NY, and credits her musical beginnings
to the large and varied influx of musicians that lived and/or performed
there at the time. Starting out on guitar, she later switched to Dobro
and started touring with bluegrass artist John Herald, and then in an
acoustic quartet with The Band's Levon Helm and Rick Danko. Other local
artists such as the legendary Paul Butterfield and Happy and Artie
Traum were also part of her early musical experience and influence.
Cindy was named Instrumentalist of the Year in 2003 by the Academy of
Western Artists Awards, and was inducted into the Texas Western Swing
Hall Of Fame in 2003. She is a frequent guest on Garrison Keillor's "A
Prarie Home Companion" public radio show, and has released four
instructional videos for Dobro and steel on Homespun Tapes. Texas has
been her home since 1992, and since her departure from Asleep At The
Wheel in 2001, she continues to enjoy a variety of freelance work, both
on the road and in the studio.
Susanna’s Kitchen is hosted by the Wimberley United Methodist Church on
