CINDY CHURCH
Originally from Bible Hill, Nova Scotia, Cindy spent her formative
musical years in western Canada, making her first recordings with the
Great Western Orchestra, touring and recording with Ian
Tyson and embarking
on a solo career. Her three solo albums (Love
on the Range, Just a
Little Rain and Cindy Church) all include some of her own songs and
her friendship with Sylvia Tyson helped lead to the formation of Quartette,
with Sylvia, Caitlin Hanford, the late Colleen
Peterson and later Gwen
Swick. A superb singer with a distinctive voice and a technique she
uses only to illuminate the lyric, Cindy invests the songs she performs
with warmth, charm and feeling.
Now living in Toronto, she has not only acquired
a national reputation as one of the best singers in the country,
but an international one as well.
Over the past two years she has toured with her project, "The
Nearness of You - a Tribute to the Music of Hoagy Carmichael” along
with pianist/composer, Joe Sealey and bassist George
Koller.
In between her
recordings and tours with Quartette, The Nearness of
You and Lunch at Allen's, Cindy continues to collaborate
with other songwriters and is currently working on a new
solo album.
Cindy has been twice honoured with Juno Awards nominations and has
also been nominated for awards by the Canadian Country
Music Association.
