***********************************************************************Cindy Novelo combines traditional and contemporary folk tunes with original pieces to mesmerize audiences on both her 5-string viola and the guitar. Attracted by the spirit of giving and receiving found in folk music, and the healing power of sharing it, several years ago Cindy chose to marry her classical training on the viola with her love for the haunting sounds of old-time fiddle and the freedom of songwriting. Her soulful playing and well-tuned ear have led to guest artist performances with a host of nationally and internationally acclaimed singer/songwriters, including David LaMotte, Eric Garrison, Bob Sinclair, Sam Anderson, Phyllis Tannerfrye, Scott Ainslie and Kasey Rausch. Cindy frequently performs solo, but also performs with Prairie Angel, a duo with Terri Laddusaw, and has just been asked to join Glenfinnan, a Celtic-oriented band based in Topeka, KS.
***********************************************************************Workshops:
Cindy's years of performance experience, her passion for teaching and over eight years of healing and yoga study led Cindy to begin teaching courses in body awareness and relaxation two years ago. After designing a course specifically for musicians, she taught during Contemporary Folk Week at the Swannanoa Gathering in Asheville, NC, beginning in 2005, and will teach there again this year. During the past year, Cindy has taught courses and led workshops in the university setting and for professional gatherings, from audiences ranging from musicians to university students to individuals with disabilities. Cindy welcomes opportunities to work with individuals and/or conduct workshops in areas related to body awareness, healing, and performance preparation.

Reviews:
Cindy, her music, and her presence envelope the earth like a warm wind - powerful, welcomed, refreshing, nurturing, and heartening.
~Singer/songwriter David Roth, June 2006
***Cindy played 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, March 2006
***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, Feb. 2006
***Cindy has a deep, enchanting talent that's a joy to hear. Her viola/fiddle range glides from soulfully moving to toe-tapping energizing.
~Joy Resor, August 2005
