Mindy Canter's ability to play many styles and articulate with genuine mastery is the cornerstone of her appeal. Her blend of blues, jazz, funk, and soul is rhythmically infectious and has been widely acclaimed. It's rare to experience such a passionate, soulful performer, as she mixes musical genres with grace and ease.
Mindy learned to read music before she could read words. She began playing piano at the age of 4, and added the flute at the age of 9.
Although classically trained, Mindy's earliest creative influences were blues and rock, and later, jazz, funk, roots... and anything else she could wrap her flute or keyboards around.
At age 19 Mindy Canter performed with Albert King and over the years with Michael Bloomfield, Boz Scaggs, Taj Mahal, Los Lobos, The Phantom Blues Band, Dan Hicks, Narada Michael Walden, Yo-Yo Ma, as well as many others.
In 1977 Mindy Canter recorded a full length African Highlife record with Souleman E. Rowgie (world-treasured artist from Sierra Leone, West Africa), playing keyboards and flute on all tracks.
Last year Mindy Canter released a single duet with Yo-Yo Ma entitled Give Us Peace.
