Cindy Lawson is an American singer/songwriter--a sweet and sassy mix of Ronnie Spector and Iggy Pop--who began her rock and roll career in Minneapolis in 1985 with her all-female rock band, The Clams. She returned from retirement in full force in 2021, and in 2022 released “New Tricks”, her first full length record in 25 years on Boston’s Rum Bar Records. New Tricks got airplay both nationally and internationally, garnering rave reviews and airplay across the globe. In April of 2023, she released a new single and video called “Don’t Come Crying To Me” that was immediately picked for Little Steven’s Coolest Songs in the World Channel on Sirius XM. The EP "Don't Come Crying To Me" was released on November 15, 2023. Her songs have been streamed more than 38,000 times on Spotify and the song "Don't Come Crying To Me" was chosen as Song of The Day on 89.3 The Current, in the top ten of 2023 local releases on RacketMN, and listed on KFAI's list of "Best Local Releases of 2023". Two songs from the EP, "I Don't Want You Anymore" and "Screamin' White Jezus” have been in daily rotation on Stevie's Coolest Songs station since the beginning of November 2023.
