Music Mondays: Cloud’s Cry

Cloud’s Cry offers passionate music that truly is a plea straight from the heart. The music features soaring lyricism, complex instrumentation, and exquisite harmonies. The band was started by singer-songwriter/classical composer/mom-extrordinaire Mandy Campbell. She leads the band with her vocals and adds her touch on the viola, harp, and penny whistle as well. Her husband Chris adds driving rhythms with a powerful and forceful guitar. Mandy’s twin sister Maggie provides back-up vocals and anchors the band from providing a solid bass to solo lines with her deft touch on the cello. Maggie’s husband Jon is the bands everyman throwing himself into rhythms on a cajon, harmonies as a back-up singer, and playing the violin and viola by turn. Mandy’s older sister Morgan also plays violin with the band. And I have been asked to play the piano for the group starting in late April of this year.

Cloud’s Cry is releasing their first cd, thirst for rain,  later this Spring from FeverDream Records.
