Singer-songwriter Cynthia Lin Performs in DC

Date: Thursday, November 13, 2008 Time: 8:00pm - 10:00pm Location: Uncommon Grounds, Georgetown University, Washington, DC A Living Room Concert is an important complement to Asian-Pacific American Heritage Month. While other annual events in the line-up of APAHM strive to promote cultural understanding and appreciation about our Asian heritage, this Concert will allow us to celebrate current Asian American individuals who have been able to traverse the obstacles of reconciling passion and social expectations. Concurrently, A Living Room Concert will also create a unique occasion for music and entertainment, as well as the arts at large, to be discussed in an Asian American context. Join Cynthia Lin for casual coffeehouse-type gathering where an informal discussion can occur after her performance to talk about the challenge of balancing school and your passion. We also hope that this event can address the meaning of being an Asian American artist in the music/entertainment industry of today. About Cynthia Lin: Drawing comparisons to Ella Fitzgerald, Joni Mitchell, and Jeff Buckley, NYC-based singer-songwriter Cynthia Lin combines a love for retro jazz with the lyrical poetry of acoustic folk. Since 2003, Cynthia has released two albums independently and toured nationally. Her recent album Doppelganger was named Top 5 of 2007 by AsiaXpress.com. For more info, please visit www.cynthialin.com
