CINDER JEAN AND ROBERT THOMAS Cinder Jean and Robert Thomas have been performing for several years together in Santa Barbara as a duo. Cinder comes from a contemporary Jazz, folk roots back ground and Robert comes from a Texas blues roots background. Cinder and Robert play blues, originals and Hawaiian-slack key guitar together. Both artists have been writing, recording and composing in this genre for the past several years. Although Cinder and Robert come from different musical back grounds, the two performers have merged their musical styles together to create a harmonic convergence that is truly unique to the listener.

Her early gigs were at venues in Santa Barbara and Ventura opening for artists such as (Dave Mason, Al Stewart, Donavon, Don Mc Lean, Arlo Guthrie and many more.
