Portraits in Song is an intimate concert series highlighting the craft and storytelling of exceptional emerging artists. Each limited-capacity evening invites audiences to experience songwriting up close — sharing not only original music, but the stories and creative journeys behind it.
The fifth concert in the series features award-winning singer-songwriter Cindy Alexander, an LA native and Carmel transplant whose eleven albums, film and television placements, and decades of touring have been built on the connection she forges with a room. Opening the evening is Two Rivers, the acoustic duo of Richard Bryant and Kyle Kovalik, pairing soaring vocals and inspired harmonies with wicked guitar work.
The performance will be held Saturday, October 17th, at 3:00pm, doors open at 2:30. Tickets are $25 (wine and light fare provided), available on Eventbrite.com.
About Cindy Alexander:
Cindy Alexander writes songs people sing along with and lyrics they quote to their friends. Affectionately called “Pnut” by her fans, she has a voice that defies her petite stature, moving from rich, earthy lows to the trill of a coloratura soprano. Technical range aside, what she’s known for is the connection she builds with a room.
A Los Angeles native and grateful Carmel transplant, she was mentored early by celebrity voice coach Nathan Lam and hit the road in 1999 opening for The Bacon Brothers, a collaboration that continues today. Eleven albums, two EPs, and multiple singles later, her work has landed in film and television including *So You Think You Can Dance*, *Dawson’s Creek*, and *Here on Earth*, and on compilations alongside Sarah McLachlan, Aimee Mann, and Norah Jones. She has toured the US, Asia, and Europe and shared stages with America, John Hiatt, Suzanne Vega, and The Gin Blossoms, with her fans crowdfunding nearly every project along the way.
