Road trips; childhood memories; ghosts of past, present, future; the passing of time; the pandemic… these all serve as the foundation for this collection of stories of love and loss as they weave with the magic of the music to enchant, and it is the simple things in life that elevate, sustain, and invite you to get a little deeper.

In This Small Town, Cynthia takes you to the Ozarks where she was lucky enough to spend a lot of time as a kid, and vividly remembers hearing and seeing a huge tornado as it passed by! Moments like that are a reminder that life is a miracle and, in the end, we are all just passing through, a stormy day, a cloud, a sky of blue.

     Cynthia has lived in Chicago, IL. more years than not, but in many ways still thinks of Arkansas as home. Flowers and Bones celebrates her musical foundation there, where her brother taught her a few guitar chords and left a guitar behind for her to play as he went to serve in the army. The rich musical history of Arkansas is personal and much more, and the stories of Highway 67 continue to intrigue.

     In the Afterglow is Cynthia Marchant’s third studio album produced with Steve Dawson of Chicago, IL. at the Kernel Sound Emporium. They continue to surprise and please listeners as lyrics you can chew on combine with the musical texture that gets down and elevates.

     Cynthia wrote this collection of songs between 2014 and 2024.
