Cindy Novelo - viola/fiddle/vocals/guitar. Sometimes I'm on my own, sometimes with others, always with me.
Etkilendikleri
The moon, the stars and the prairie wind, the spirit within, the spirit without, love and life, the haunting musical sounds of Appalachia, the brilliance, purity and romance of classical, the deep-in-my-bones stirring of the blues, old Gospel tunes, The Carter Family, Joyce Andersen, Christine Kane, Gillian Welch, Annie Gallup, Kris Delmhorst, Jackson Browne, too many more to mention, Luna and Leila and everyone I've ever loved

Some say just me, but some say some things I do remind them of Dar Williams, Kimmie Rhodes, or Christine Kane when I sing, Eastern European or gypsy music when I play my fiddles.

Cindy, her music, and her presence envelope the earth like a warm wind - powerful, welcomed, refreshing, nurturing, and heartening.
~Singer/Songwriter David Roth, Orleans, MA
***When Cindy plays her magical fiddle-ish - actually a little 5-string viola with a celestial and ancient tone - she is a symphony.
~Singer/Songwriter Phyllis Tannerfrye, Myrtle Beach, SC
***The quality of everything about the recording [Phyllis Tannerfryes most recent cd Now and Then], including Cindys viola on 'angel' and 'footprints' is AMAZING!
~Singer/songwriter Herschel Brown, Columbia, SC
***Cindy has a deep, enchanting talent that's a joy to hear. Her viola/fiddle range glides from soulfully moving to toe-tapping energizing.
