biographical info
The Tennessee Twin began in Olympia, Washington, in 1998 as the brainchild of Ms. Lucinda Marie Wolfe. "Cindy," born an identical twin in Memphis, Tennessee, found song-writing inspiration from her southern roots and desire to create music that differed from that of her punk rock peers. ... Nonetheless, Cindy forged ahead with her song-writing attempts, often drawing from summers spent with her dad and relatives in east Tennessee.
So, you may ask, why is Ms. Wolfe in Canada? Well, a New Pornographer brought her up to Vancouver a few years ago, and "Dubya" will keep her from going back to the States for now. Canada has been good to Cindy.
Cindy's old-style heartfelt ballads and hillbilly barn-burners spring from time spent in the country of country, relationships gone wrong, and even shitty apartment dwellings.
