Cindi Scheffler

I pride myself on my beautiful background dinner vocals/piano. My music is never at a volume that prevents people from talking amongst each other. It is designed specifically to add a touch of class to your event.
However, should you want me front and center on the stage, I can offer a great cabaret show of Broadway show tunes and songs from the concert stage. My show is energized and the selection of songs will make you laugh and cry. In my cabaret show, I am accompanied by a pianist and an optional bass or drums.

“Cindi Scheffler electrifies with crystalline diction, perfect intonation, and a vibrant presence that commands attention. The warmth in her voice could hasten springtime and her wit and charm illuminate the room” 

------Drew Jansen Composer, “How to Talk Minnesotan: The Musical” 




Originally from New York, Cindi has been performing in both theater and cabaret since she was seventeen years old. Her professional career as a singer began in 1986 after taking 1st Place in the MN State Fair Talent Competition and the State champion at the Rhunestone Music Festival. The same year she was awarded a close second to Lori Line's gospel singer Robert Robinson in a coast-to-coast “Singer’s Challenge” by Pioneer.
Locally over the years she has been seen performing as the featured vocalist at the hottest venues in Minneapolis including The Dakota, Sophia Restaurant, Rush Creek Golf club, the Marq VII Lounge and Windows on Minnesota Restaurant at the Marquette Hotel in downtown Mpls.
On stage Cindi has taken leading roles in musicals such as "I Love You, You’re Perfect Now Change", "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat", and "South Pacific". Her professional talents as an actress combined with her exceptional voice are put together into a one-woman cabaret show that will make you laugh and cry.
Cindi can be seen performing every Saturday night at Nicollet Island Inn in Minneapolis from 6:30 - 10:30.

I prefer to preform in a setting where a piano is already provided. I can bring a sound system if needed with minimal lighting.
