We are proud to announce our latest signing to both our speaker and artist rosters – Cidny Bullens!
Cidny Bullens is a two-time Grammy nominee whose 40-year career in the music business began auspiciously — working with Elton John, Bob Dylan, Gene Clark, Rod Stewart, The Alpha Band, and Pop producer/writer Bob Crewe. She also sang three lead vocals on the movie soundtrack of Grease, then recorded her own critically acclaimed album, 1979’s Desire Wire, which earned her a Grammy nomination and catapulted Cindy into the international spotlight.
In the 1980’s, Cindy took time off to raise her children. In the 1990’s she had success in Nashville writing with some of Country’s hottest songwriters including Matraca Berg, Radney Foster, Kye Fleming, Jess Leary, Mary Ann Kennedy, Al Anderson, and Bill Lloyd, including the 1994 Country hit “Hammer and Nails” written with and recorded by Radney Foster.
Then in March of 1996, Cindy lost her 11 year-old daughter Jessie to cancer. That tragedy, over the following two years, inspired Cindy to write and record her widely acclaimed 1999 CD Somewhere Between Heaven and Earth, featuring appearances by Bonnie Raitt, Lucinda Williams, Bryan Adams, Beth Neilson Chapman, Rodney Crowell, and a haunting duet with her elder daughter, Reid Crewe.
In 2011, Cindy became Cidny, making the difficult and daunting decision to transition from female to male, not knowing what the personal or professional response would be. Cid’s coming out article in the Daily Beast in June, 2012 portrays his decision and the beginning of this difficult journey. He stepped back from the public eye to go through the process until 2016 re-emerging as Cidny Bullens having written his one person show Somewhere Between: Not An Ordinary Life.
