Cidny Bullens

This two-time Grammy nominee’s career has taken Cidny from singing back-up with Elton John and singing lead vocals on the Grease movie soundtrack to having eight critically acclaimed solo albums, including 1999’s award-winning Somewhere Between Heaven and Earth written in the first two years after the death of Cidny’s 11-year-old daughter, Jessie.  This album of passionate, heartfelt songs catapulted Cidny into traveling all over the world singing about love, loss, and resurrection.  Bullens’s subsequent CDs Neverland, dream #29, and her latest Howling Trains and Barking Dogs have also garnered worldwide acclaim. Cid’s guests on the albums include friends Bonnie Raitt, Lucinda Williams, Steve Earle, Bryan Adams, Emmylou Harris, Delbert McClinton, and Sir Elton. In the 1990s, Cidny co-wrote with such Nashville greats as Radney Foster, Bill Lloyd, Matraca Berg, Al Anderson, Kye Fleming and Maryann Kennedy, producing several charting singles including Radney Foster’s hit “Hammer and Nails.” Cidny continues a solo career, and is one-third of  “super-group,” The Refugees, with Wendy Waldman and Deborah Holland.
