Cindy Boehler’s motto in life could easily be “Never give up your dreams.” Born in Colorado and raised in Nebraska, Cindy acknowledges that growing up in a small midwestern town significantly shaped her as an individual. The self-proclaimed ruralist grew up around music and was singing by an early age. Attributing her mother, as well as role models like Karen Carpenter and Patsy Cline, for inspiration, Cindy’s first public appearance as a vocalist was in 1976 at her sister’s wedding. Her first CD “Set It Free” is a musical tribute to both her mother and her God as she joyous exclaims, “Find the promise of salvation in the Word” in the opening cut.
Boehler is a mom herself with seven kids ranging in age from 6 to 26. She best captures her love of family and own maternal instinct in her self-penned song lyrics of “That’s What I Come From,” where she sings “my mother’s heart was given by those who came before, I’ve raised my babies lovingly, I’ve trusted in the Lord.” It’s a splendid tribute to her grandmother, her mother, and the wisdom they imparted and passed down.
According to Boehler, “When I set out to make this CD, I really didn’t intend for it to be anything other than a keepsake for my children and my mother. Then it took off and received radio airplay in over 40 countries.”
The creation of this music has been life changing for Cindy Boehler. She hopes that the messages in her songs will similarly provide some guidance and direction for others in need of finding their way during life’s journeys. Considering that it’s taken many years for Cindy Boehler to find her own musical bearing and course to Nashville, the underlying tenet of her ministry is that God loves all, has answers, and will help all who are seeking sweet redemption in His plan.

Cindy will be performing Friday night, June 19th at 8 PM in the City Square following the coronation of the 2009 Swedish Festival King and Queen.
