Ciao My Shining Star: The Songs of Mark Mulcahy is a tribute album to former Polaris and Miracle Legion front man Mark Mulcahy released under the Shout! Factory label.

Almost a year after his wife Melissa died suddenly (2008), 21 artists contributed exclusive tracks to the album to help Mulcahy to continue making music while he raises his three-year old twin daughters. Notable contributors include R.E.M. front man Michael Stipe, Radiohead's Thom Yorke and The National. A deluxe edition is also available which includes 20 bonus tracks over two additional bonus CDs.[4]
