Warm soprano vocals are combined with skill on a variety of acoustic instruments by Vermont-based songstress Cindy Mangsen. Equally effective with traditional Scottish ballads as she is with songs by contemporary singer-songwriters including Jack Hardy, Jean Ritchie and her husband, Steve Gillette, Mangsen has alternated between solo recordings, duo albums with Gillette, duo albums with Anne Hills, and trio albums with Hills and Priscilla Herdman.
Mangsen was raised in a musical family. Her father played a variety of instruments, while her sister played harpsichord. Mangsen's musical career began after her move to the Chicago area in the early 1970s. She became a regular performer at the Old School in Chicago and the Ark in Ann Arbor.
In 1980, Mangsen returned to the East Coast to attend the State University of New York in Albany. After earning a master's degree in library sciences, she took a job as a librarian at Bennington College in her hometown. Mangsen met Gillette, who soon joined her in Vermont, in 1978.
