 
LML Music is proud to announce the release of Cindy Benson's
debut solo recording OUT ON A WHIM.
Cindy Benson is a tiny wisp of a thing with a voice that can break
your heart one moment and leave you laughing helplessly the next.
She travels genres and cross-pollinates cabaret with jazz and musical
theater, injecting each style with her unmistakable personality. She
somehow transforms her voice to inhabit an extraordinary range of
material from the stratospheric intro of "Mr. Paganini"
to a rich contralto singing "Can't Help Lovin' That Man…"
Listening to Cindy sing, you can feel each mood, each expression,
each smile and sigh that brings her music alive.
This collection of songs is truly a journey through the whims, the
woe and whimsy of one of the most talented performers today. |
Cindy's CD...OUT ON A WHIM can be purchased online

"...a
terrific debut solo album! Unearthed gems... clever
and intelligent, performed with a knowing glance
by a talented singer with a sonorous instrument.
Each and every lyric is interpreted with a clarity
of sound and spirit including the powerful Can't
Help Lovin' That Man and the moving One More Walk
Around the Garden. Her sweeping belt on Ridin'
High can send shivers.... an exciting and refreshing
delight!"
WRTN-FM/WVOX-AM

"... lilting, amusing and occasionally heart-breaking
delivery, this uplifting and well-crafted release
is one of the finest post-Broadway recordings".

I've worked with Cindy since before the beginning of her career. Do
you have any idea how long that is? Never mind, it's been worth it.
I was determined that this would not be one of those ego stroking
pieces of puffery about how she has such an extraordinary voice (opera
singers come to see her and try to figure out how she does what she
does!) or how funny she is (the New York Post called her "a comic
genius") or how she can turn around and break your heart with
a simple ballad -- No, I'm not going to do any of that.
I've worked with
a lot of "big names" in the last 25 years, but no bigger
talent than Cindy Benson. I think the most important impact that
Cindy has made on me is reflected in the faces of her audiences.
The people who come back to see her time after time because, once
seen, she becomes a tenant who occupies a permanent place in your
heart. If you have a better way to describe her, tell me about it
-- or better yet, tell friends!
