SKYLINE w/ Cassidy Lynn

Country (Modern & Classic)

Syracuse

Cassidy Lynn moves to Nashville Aug. 21st..don’t worry she’ll be back to play for y’all! As of now she will be playing out with the boys when she’s on break from school. Have gigs booked Christmas break and next summer. If you need to see her before that, send her a plane ticket and she’ll be more than happy to play. LOL

Bryan White originally recorded “From This Moment” with Shania Twain in Lake placid. Up until this weekend he only sang it live with Leann Rimes. Take a look at the second time live with Cassidy Lynn. Pretty good for never singing with or practicing.

Big Kat Country 95.3 out of Norwich has been playing Cassidy's songs for the last couple months. They are now the most requested songs Big Kat receives.

Cassidy is back from Nashville with her Demo and couldn’t be happier how it turned out. Cassidy worked with some of the best in the business from her producer all the way to the studio musicians. It all started with sitting with various writers and taking an idea and writing songs. By the end of the first week Cassidy sat down with her producer and picked the 3 songs they liked best. Went into the studio and laid down the tracks with the musicians. Went back for two days and did the voice over. Mixed, mastered and it is now radio ready. She co-wrote with John Colgin the same writer that wrote “I Saw God Today” which George Strait has taken to No. 1. He also gave Cassidy a song for her demo that he was originally going to pitch to George Strait. All of Cassidy’s contacts will be walking her demo into all the major labels for a listen. Fortunately for Cassidy the people she has been working with can walk in with no appointment needed. They will be listened to. The New Original songs are here for you to enjoy. Cassidy thanks everyone for all the support.

Hold on tight! We have a big summer coming up. Some of our big shows are finalized.

SKYLINE had a great summer (2007). Fairs, Festivals, Private parties and opening for four national acts “Emerson Drive” “Bucky Covington”,”Jason Michael Carroll” & Tommy Cash”.

Skylines goal is to reach as many people as possible. Each member has their own growing fan base and as a group, they plan to bring their fans together to create a following that hasn’t been seen in this area in a long time. Here's the line-up and a fraction of their accomplishments: www.myspace.com/skylinefeaturingcassidylynn

- Cassidy Lynn - lead singer, rhythm guitar. At the young age of 20, this young lady knows how to pull the crowd in and leave them wanting more. She has opened for national country artists such as Trick Pony and Charlie Pride, played at the Nashville Palace right in the country music capital itself, and has placed in talent contests all over the state. After playing out for 5 years on her own, Cassidy found herself as the lead singer of "Seven Bridges" and now is proud to be playing with "Skyline." Cassidy's drive for music and her "in your face" style of performing leaves you coming back for more. This young lady plans to try her luck as she heads down to Nashville in the near future.

- Bobby Elmer - drummer - lead and backing vocals. Bobby started drumming back in 1968 when he was in the fifth grade. He then began playing in clubs in 1977 and has been a member of the bands "Punch," "Snow Blind," "Redneck Rodeo Cowboys," "Julie Crawford and "Amarillo," "The Steve Webb Band," "Smokin', "Rimrock Canyon," "The Gary Robertson Band," "Pincher Creek," "Seven Bridges," and now Skyline featuring Cassidy Lynn." His biggest influences over the years have included The Beatles, big band music such as Buddy Rich and Maynard Ferguson, Led Zepplin, and several other country performers, especially (although it generally contains no drums) bluegrass. Bobby's unique style is a product of his philosophy that less is more. Meaning that he believes a player can be summed up based just as much as what they don't play, as by what they do. You won't find Bobby sitting behind a double kick, multi-tom mega rack with a bunch of shiny cymbals compensating for any short comings." Just bare bones solid timekeeping, no meaningless rumble. Bobby has certainly proven himself to be a bona fide time keeper.

- Tim Baldwin - lead guitar, Fiddle ,Sax & vocals. Tim started playing guitar at 9 and played his first gig at 17. He played trumpet all through school and won a talent show playing banjo with just 2 weeks practice. "I've always been fascinated with all musical instruments, and I usually hear the music I want to play in my head long before I learn to play the instrument. Like an artist sees the picture in his head before he starts the painting." The technique has worked well when he taught himself the fiddle at age 20 and saxophone at 25, later piano at 31. "I've known the guys in Skyline many years, and know they have great talent, but when I heard Cassidy sing it was sansational! To listen to them was fabulous, and I was ecstatic at the chance to play with them!"

- John Baldwin – Bass, lead and backing vocals. John starting Playing Music at the ripe old age of 4, and was playing out at the age of 13, Playing Drums, mostly at Barn Dances, and other private functions. At the age of 17, he took a brief break from the Country Music scene, and did some touring with a rock band, this only lasted about 2 years, as Country kept calling. In 1988 he moved to Nashville TN, where he worked for a short time at the Opryland Hotel Print shop, until landing a gig playing drums with Louise Mandrell. After touring the country for about 2 years, he chose to move back to upstate NY to raise his children. John has been very instrumental in several very successful upstate NY bands, John Played Drums with Justice, Western Justice, and most recently The Regulators. He also Played Bass with The Wild Ones, and Slick Nickel, and is currently playing Bass with Skyline Featuring Cassidy Lynn. John was inducted into the New York State Country Music hall of fame in 2003. John is also the drummer, for The REGULATORS, a very entertaining group, try to catch a show !

- Lee Martin - Lead Guitar, Mandolin, Vocals and Acoustic guitars. Lee began playing guitar at the age of 13. He loves all styles of music but has a passion for Country, specifically Modern Country. Lee has played for many local bands, including many genres of music. Toby Keith, Exile, BTO, Sammy Kershaw, Jamie Johnson and Mark Chestnut are some of the many national acts Lee has shared the stage with. In 2001 Lee founded and became president of The Mohawk Valley Bluegrass Association. A bluegrass fan and musician, the Mandolin is a passion and one more of his many talents. Being involved with MVBA he coordinated several successful annual weekend festivals. Lee is also involved with the American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life. He has coordinated 2 annual Relay For Life Country Jamboree’s featuring many local country acts. Influences include; Sam Bush, David Grisman, Jerry Reed, Eric Clapton and absolutely (Amazing Mason) Brent Mason. “I met Bob Elmer at a bluegrass jam that I was hosting in Stanwix Height’s, we instantly became friends”. I met the rest of Skyline at the annual jamboree and became hooked on the band. “I have been honored by being asked to join Skyline. I am very lucky to have played with and to play with the very best musicians in the area”. Come on were revved up, Come check out the show!!
