Cindy Alexander is an award winning singer-songwriter, internationally acclaimed by critics and adored by her fans.  This Los Angeles native (who recently relocated permanently to Carmel Highlands at the top of Big Sur) was trained at the prestigious USC School of Drama, but realized quickly that there was enough “drama” in real life and the best part she could play was herself. She wrote what is now 10 cd’s (and added to numerous compilations and movie/TV soundtracks) worth of her life, which she has performed all across the U.S., Japan, Germany, Ireland, and islands as far as Barbados and Guantanamo Bay. Music has been the key to her adventure, and she soaks up the stories of those she meets, the cultures, the geography, the spirit and the down and dirty details of the road she travels. As a seasoned writer and performer, she has tackled numerous subjects – not only the classic singer/songwriter confessional fare of dysfunctional relationships, marriage, and motherhood, but also her personal discovery and recovery from breast cancer, the perils of the entertainment business, classic literature, sexuality, spirituality, history and the human condition. There is no topic which is out of bounds – she tells The Truth.

“P-nut,” as she is affectionately known by her fans, has a voice that defies her petite stature. Classically trained, this coloratura soprano hits the high notes like an angel but also bellows with rich, velvety tones in the lower half of her over three octave range. She’s a storyteller, and her show benefits from the stories, humor and banter with the audience as it is does from the music and exceptional execution. She’s won a multitude of awards including David Foster’s “Star Tomorrow” on NBC, L.A. Music Awards Songwriter of the Year, Independent Pop Album of the Year, and Producer’s Honors – Best of Last 25 Years Female Singer-Songwriters, All Access Magazine’s Best Female Pop Vocalist, Just Plain Folks Song of the Year and Female Artist of the Year, L.A. Music Critic’s Best Female CD (3 time winner) and Best Pop/Rock Artist.  Her latest 2021 release on Blue Élan Records, “While the Angels Sigh,” spins on U.S. Americana and AAA radio.  This Spring, she heads back into the studio to record her next album, and looks forward to previewing the new material, along with old favorites, at Hank Dietle's Tavern to benefit the Kay Yow Cancer Fund. 

When not parenting and playing music, you’ll find Cindy on the local hiking trails and caring for the wildlife who have adopted her: squirrels, birds, feral cats, raccoons, foxes and any other creature in the Big Sur wilderness.
