While pop/ folk chanteuse Cindy Doire grew up in Timmins, Ontario, she is best known as a French artist.
That’s because she recorded two French language CDs before her recently released English debut ’Sticks and Mud.’
“I grew up speaking French, because my parents spoke French, but living in Timmins, in Northern Ontario, I was pretty much assimilated,” said Doire, vintage shopping in Toronto “for a kick ass pair of boots to bring on tour.”
She and dobro player Rob Fenton make their first visit to Lethbridge, April 10 at the Slice, which will be part of a massive six month Canadian tour before she returns to Europe.
“I’m a bit of a city hopper. I lived in Timmins, then Montreal for a bit and now Toronto,” said Doire, who doesn’t spend much time anywhere anymore as she spends most of the year on the road.
“It’s not like I come home for two months at a time. It feels like it’s been an endless tour for the past three years,” she continued.
“I’ve been touring around Quebec and New Brunswick, exploring that side of my soul for the past few years. Now I’ve got the English CD, I can explore that side of my soul,” she continued adding she has toured out west as bassist with Sarah Burton’s band, but never made it to Lethbridge.
