The eldest of the group being Russell followed by Sarah Fay, Kathlene, Bernadette and Quentin. The family was born and raised on beautiful Vancouver Island, in the quaint town of Qualicum Beach. Singing has always been the family's passion. They grew up in a home surrounded by music and filled with song. Hence, the development of their beautifully melodious voices. The family also enjoys playing a wide variety of musical instruments but prefers to leave most at home and focus on their vocals while performing on stage. They are accompanied by a group of exceptionally talented professional musicians. Their concerts are always lively with encouragement for full audience participation. When you leave their shows, you will do so with a sense of having been thoroughly entertained. Over the years, the family has acquired a vast and diverse musical repertoire, enjoying most musical styles. Whether it be classical or traditional pieces, contemporary music, jazz, or musical theatre, the family is at home with them all. In particular, they have developed a fondness for the beautiful Celtic Music of their Irish and Scottish Heritage. To this effect, the family has much to offer their audience, as their music reaches people of many different musical persuasions. With a strong sense of musicianship, they deliver their songs in a touching emotive manner and are a pleasure to watch on stage. Put it all together and it creates a performance well worth remembering. With the release of the family's debut c.d. "STEPPING STONES," and two additional recording projects well underway, the family is looking at a very bright future with endless opportunities awaiting them._______________________________________________________ ___________ "Music has always been an important part of, "The McShane Family."
