Biography of Cinder Jean

"A brilliant poet, marvelous songwriter, and beautiful guitarist, Cinders CD "Strands Of Time" is a true reflection her life and the musical journey she has taken over the past ten years. Give yourself a chance to listen carefully to Strands Of Time...

Born in Los Angeles California in the city of Manhattan Beach, Cinder received her first guitar at the age of ten as a Birthday present. And thus Cinder's mostly self-taught guitar style emerged. In her young teenage years, most of her musical performances took place in her bedroom to an audience of one, (Her best friend.) With her head down and her face buried in all of her hair, She had no aspiration to use music to entertain but was content with the self-expression and catharsis that song writing and poetry offered. It was Cinder's first gig that broke the shy side of her personality and she recognized her calling to the stage was much stronger then her shyness.

Her early gigs were at venues in the Santa Barbara and Ventura area opening for artists such as (Dave Mason, Al Stewart, Donovan, Don Mc Lean, Arlo Guthrie and many more. Cinder was a part of the "Classic Concert Series" at the "Ventura Beach Holiday Inn Resort Hotel" In the late eighties where she met Jazz Pianist Robert W. Brown. They moved to New Mexico and pursued a career on the road together touring from Japan to Alaska and through out many parts of the North and Southwest of America covering a wide range of music from Jazz, Country, Pop, Rock, Blues and Originals. The two were quite successful I must add playing many night clubs, private parties and resort hotels.

After ten years on the road touring as "Nightshades," Cinder moved back to her home in Santa Barbara, California to record some of the songs she had been quietly amassing over through out her time on the road. The result is a collection of fifteen songs centered around the theme of her life on the road, the heart aches of love and the joys and sorrows life can bring.

In Cinder's own words the best description for both her music and her purpose in sharing it with the world is to bring a message of hope and try to make the world a better place through art and music.

"Although time has turned our paths the memories of all our laughs will stay inside my mind along these thin strands of time..."
