The Cadleys entertain audiences in Upstate New York and New England with a powerful blend of traditional bluegrass, "new acoustic" à la Alison Krauss, and John's original songs, many of which have been recorded by award-winning national artists. John's song "Time," recorded by Lou Reid, reached #1 on the bluegrass charts for three months. The Cadleys' recording of "The Hard Years," another of John's songs, garnered Best Bluegrass Song of the Just Plain Folks Music Awards.

In addition to world-class songwriting, the Cadleys' live performances feature Rochester's virtuoso, Perry Cleaveland on mandolin and SAMMY Hall of Fame member John Dancks on the upright bass. Paired with the sweet, smooth harmonies of Cathy and John Cadley, and the band's entertaining audience rapport —- the Cadleys always deliver a fresh and captivating performance.
