A stellar presence in the Canadian music scene, Cindy Church has crafted a body of work that is at once artistically successful and culturally significant, sought after by fellow performers and treasured by listeners. Drawing set lists from her own catalogue and exceptional covers of tunes in performances to appreciative audiences internationally, Church has become renowned for the clarity and emotive precision of her voice and the subtlety of her approach to song interpretation and songwriting.  These vocal stylings became a key element in the formation of Quartette, the striking collaboration of Church, Sylvia Tyson, Caitlin Hanford , the late Colleen Peterson, and later Gwen Swick, that would reshape the Canadian musical landscape.

Now living in Toronto, she has acquired national acclaim as one of the best singers in the country and an international reputation for her musical adeptness across country, jazz, blues, gospel and swing styles, and as one of the finest song interpreters. From 2001 through 2003, she worked and recorded with George Koller and Joe Sealy as part of “The Nearness of You : A Tribute to the Music of Hoagy Carmichael ” which toured extensively across Canada. Currently, she continues to work and record with Quartette, and is also a core member of the powerful creative collaboration, Lunch at Allen’s, writing, recording and performing with fellow singer songwriters Murray McLauchlan, Ian Thomas and Marc Jordan.

If Nathan Tinkham's name rings a bell, it's probably because of his extensive lead guitar, arranging and songwriting work with such artists as the Great Western Orchestra, Ian Tyson, Cindy Church and Quartette, Church's super group with Sylvia Tyson, Caitlin Hanford and the late Colleen Peterson.
