Cynthia Summers: âLove at Every Turnâ

About the CD: âLove at Every Turnâ was recorded at Signature Studios, in Pomfret, CT. Cynthia wrote all but of 1 of the 10 songs; the one cover is of a Greg Brown tune. The musicians include drummer Dave Mattacks, guitarist Duke Levine, bassist Richard Gates, keyboard player Michael Bellar, violinist Edita Blaskova, cellist Roman Placek, and violist Cori Tolda. Steve Santoro did the string arrangements. The record was mastered by Bob St. John at PDQ productions in Miramar, Florida. Moya McAllister took the photos and Roe Intrieri did the design.

About Cynthia: Now based in the New York City area, Cynthia graduated from Oberlin College in Ohio, where she studied literature and creative writing. Her life as a writer is evident in her smart, deeply felt lyrics. She writes about love lost and love found, the struggle to create, the longing to be remembered, the complexities of being a new mother. Cynthia is an excellent guitarist, but her haunting voice is her main instrument. Her voice has been likened to some of the most beautiful voices in acoustic music. She has been called a âyoung Judy Collins,â and has also been compared to Natalie Merchant and Joan Baez. The combination of her strong lyrics, stunning voice, and genuine gift for melody results in a CD of memorable beauty.
