Armed Forces Entertainment gave us the opportunity to give thanks to our troops over the holiday this year. We are just back from our first Pacific tour... eyes wide open, and hearts overflowing. These men and women are real life heroes. Thank you to all of our troops for fighting for our freedom... for giving us the privilege of dreaming out loud.
BIOGRAPHY - (by Anastasia Pantsios-Cleveland Free Times)
Listening to Mindy McQs warm, silky vocals and well-crafted songs puts a listener in mind of Harlem, Detroit, Chicago or Philadelphia, harking back to the classic soul tracks of the 1950s, 60s and 70s. One would never dream that these songs and that voice, so sultry and knowing, are the product of a shy, lanky 23-year-old from rural Ohio, who never thought of doing music until graduating from high school. But they are. Initially more folk-oriented, she quickly found herself gravitating to a melding of classic soul, funk and jazz, developing a style that contains elements of such performers as Alicia Keys, Nora Jones and Jill Scott. From that style, and in her few four years as a performer, she has been blessed to share bills with musical icons such as Mary J. Blige, Robert Lockwood Jr., The Coup, Suzanne Vega, Marc Broussard and Alana Davis. So where is she going with this? In Mindy's words... "Standing still makes me ache. In every inch of my life, I want to see what I'm capable of. Music is the most lovely thing I've experienced so far... So this is me figuring it out." . . . .

Writing a song is a reaction to when all my ugly parts run into my lovely parts.  They push.  They pull.  They fight like hell.  And then finally, they're left ...
