A native of Buffalo, NY, Cindy Sams has sung professionally since her teen years, but only recently kicked it into full gear!  Cindy's passion and drive have propelled her to front a highly successful classic rock band while, at the same time, performing within a popular acoustic rock duo.  Her rich background in rock, pop, jazz and singing back-up vocals add up to a very versatile, mesmerizing performer!  She is proud to have shared a stage with such national artists as Lynyrd Skynyrd, Lou Gramm, Black Sheep and Lew Soloff.

In addition to loving the excitement of the live stage, Cindy is a studio addict!  She's been thrilled to record background vocals for albums recorded by Lou Gramm, Jessica Hamilton, The Niche, and Jeff Cosco.  Cindy is proud to be working on her own original album and can't wait to share it with the world!

When she's not performing herself, Cindy's favorite thing to do is to go out and enjoy the fun and talent of fellow performers in her area. 

She's a staunch advocate of supporting live music and is in awe of the great bands and singers right in her own backyard! She's full of thanks and admiration for all that these tremendous performers have taught her through example, insight and inspiration, most notably
Jeff Cosco.
 

"I'm grateful to have reached a point in my life that is so full of happiness!  My heart belongs to a sweet, sexy, amazing man that I fall more in love with every day!  We share a life with 3 incredibly smart, sassy, loving kids and an extended family that makes it all worthwhile!  And, of course, there's my second family: my band (they're perverted, but that's what I love about 'em!)!

When I do get some free time, I love the beach (especially when I can throw on my bikini and lay by the ocean!).  I've got a lot of nervous energy!  I love to dance, sing loud, cuddle with my Baby, tease my kids and network on my-space. I also love to cook (my sauce is killer, and I'm not even Italian!).  My favorite indulgence is this chocolate-rum-raspberry-mocha cake that they make at Leo's bakery (with Starbucks Yukon Blend as a chaser....yum!!!). 

One of the most insightful phrases I've ever heard was written by my daughter, Lily: "If you be someone else it won't last for long, so it is better being yourself" 
"Be yourselves........."
