Details:
Cindy Noveloâs debut solo album "Stone's Throw" blends her classical training on the viola with her deep love of folk music into haunting interpretations of traditional tunes and soulful original compositions on the viola, fiddle, guitar and vocals. Her unique sound inspired producer Tom Prasada-Rao to coin a new term for her music â Appalachian Classical.

Well-known folk music DJ Bob McWilliams (Kansas Public Radio's Trail Mix) recently selected Stone's Throw as one of his top picks for best folk albums of 2009, along with new albums by Antje Duvekot, Sarah Jaroscz, Richard Shindell and Cheryl Wheeler.

Novelo's music reflects her Midwest United States roots and the surrounding prairie landscape as well as her international living experience and unique world view. Classically trained, Cindy was a long-standing member of the National Symphony of Costa Rica and the Proyer String Quartet. She has performed across the U.S, in Europe and Latin America and frequently has been a supporting musician for many internationally acclaimed singer/songwriters, including Antje Duvekot, David LaMotte, Don Conoscenti and Johnsmith.
