Candace Neal
When Candace Neal moved from the cow-laden fields of NC to the magical, mouse-eared world of Orlando one year ago, she had no idea her silly little love song would be heard by so many. The homespun, six-foot tall, self-taught singer/ songwriter who spends most of her time doing theatre and freelance graphic design and the frequent Youtube music video, just released her quirky but soulful debut album, “Music From A Can” in October and is now tickled pink to be plunking on the keys all over town. Her songs are playful but profound covering everything from school girl crushes to financial woes to love unreturned. If you’re looking for smoky vocals, driving piano-rock, and lyrics that are as gut-busting as they are heart-wrenching, Candace Neal is your girl.
