Hey, West Coasters! Cy is heading there in early February for some solo dates. Hope you can come out to the shows, where Cy will be playing some great songs and chatting a bit about how they come together! You might even hear a preview ahead of his next solo release.
Cy is delighted to be returning for some dates in Germany in October. We hope you will come out and see him. Please let any friends you may have in that area know about the shows too. And many thanks to you for your support!
Art flourishes through patronage. This is as true today as it was during the Renaissance. Only now, there is no king to fill coffers. There is you. A discerning listener for whom stirring vocals and meaningful words matter. A treasure hunter who reads the liner notes. A friend of independent music.
The new album, titled The Horses’s Mouth, is coming together. Following “Solar Minimum,” Cy has shifted into a lighter space. The message of THM is one of renewal and energy. As with every Cy Curnin album, it’s full of thoughtful lyrics and unexpected musical influences. Here’s a little clip from Cy to start things off…

KARMA FUND
Is this one of those days when you’ve awoken up and say, “Hey! I feel like hugging a musician!” but you can’t because you don’t live down the street from one? Or maybe you are enjoying a pile of awesome downloads and realize they were worth more than $.99 to you and there is an imbalance in the universe that must be righted? Here is the place you can do that. You rock, Karma person!
It’s a brilliant charity. Cancer treatment centers. Bone marrow matching. Life-changing stuff. LHSF is near and dear to Cy’s heart, as you know. So recently, The Fixx donated a song, “Moving Mountains,” to help raise money for the Love Hope Strength Foundation to support their good works. The song, the first new music release from the band in a few years, was produced and mixed by Nick Jackson. You can download this new song from the LHSF store.
As many of you know, Cy is a great supporter of the Love Hope Strength Foundation. He loves the people, the events and the dedication of this music-centric cancer charity. Later this month, he will be participating in some LHSF events that promise to be absolutely fantastic. Here is more information. Hope you can attend!
Love Hope Strength VIP Kickoff Event (Dallas, TX)
Thursday, May 26th 6:00 - 11:00pm
Hosted by friends of LHSF, this VIP Kick-Off event will harness the compassionate energy of Dallas’ social, sports and business sectors in the Love Hope Strength style. Proceeds from the event will go to support the Love Hope Strength Foundation’s Global Fund that provides people around the world with access to treatment and cures, including access to life saving bone marrow donors. Direct proceeds from this event will support the ongoing growth of the Children’s Cancer Center in Tanzania and the establishment of the very first bone marrow registry in Nigeria.
Cy will be joined by fellow LHSF trek veteran Miles Zuniga (of Fastball) for an evening of music. There’s a theme - 80’s Chic (hey, Cy is chic in any decade!).
The event is taking place in the home of host, Dr. Michael Rimlawi, and promises intimate and engaging performances.
Tickets are $150 for the benefit of LHFS. To purchase tickets and find out more about the gig, please contact Ayaan Ahmed - ayaanmahmed@yahoo.com. You can also visit this Facebook event page.
