solo mandolin 

Few have dared to travel into the untamed forests of solo mandolin performance, but Cynthia is committed to blazing that trail.  With a rich cache of ear-catching chords and inventive melodies, she guides her listeners through some of her favorite musical territory.  Though vintage jazz and Brazilian choro may be unfamiliar to today's modern ears, Cynthia's sweet voice and loving spirit provide a welcoming beacon, an invitation to explore and embrace the unfamiliar.  Her original material draws from an even wider range of influences, from R&B and reggae to French gypsy waltzes and all-nighters in Cajun country.  No matter the song, the lifeblood of Cynthia's show is her ever-expanding love for music, life and togetherness.
