Description:
Cynthia Hopkins is one of those high-flying juggernauts that have given MIAF a good rep. She has an encyclopaedic CV of artistic achievements and enough trophies to fill a house. One trophy in particular came from The Alpert Award in the Arts for the cream of the artsy crop. Her band, Gloria Deluxe, sounds like enliquored Fiona Apple singing over the cigarette hanging from her bottom lip. They play spoons, violins, guitars and washboards, consist of some of America's most reputable musicians. Cynthia herself sings grey country vocals while playing the saw. - ID
