The Whiskey Creek Music Festival is a non-profit society which is dedicated to helping fund our local Water District improvements and helping our volunteer organizations in our community.
We have been fortunate to have Cynthia Roberts perform at our last two “Tribute to the Legends” festivals.
This is a professional presentation of the highest caliber and if you didn’t know better you would think that you were actually listening to Shania herself.
Anyone searching for a show that the whole family can enjoy and engenders audience participation, Shania Live! Is that show. Pictures don’t lie and the crowds at both our 2004 and 2005 Whiskey Creek Music Festivals were enthusiastic in their appreciation.
I take much pleasure in being able to write a recommendation for Cynthia.
Sincerely,
Bruce Macleod
- President of The Whiskey Creek Music Festival

Bio
CYNTHIA ROBERTS has been a part of the entertainment industry for many years. Her talents have been recognized from Vancouver BC, to Mexico, to Nashville, to Las Vegas.
Cynthia has been touring with her Tribute to Shania Twain for several years. She attended The 4th Annual Celebrity Impersonators Convention in Las Vegas where she performed on the Legends showroom stage for agents from around the world. Cynthia was rated in the top five out of forty performers from around the world as well as the best Tribute to Shania Twain. She has aired on Fox TV and has been featured on CMT in a special documentary with Rich Little. She has been interviewed by countless newspapers and magazines including The Wall Street Journal, MacLean’s, and Stuff Magazine.
When asked how she got started with her tribute to Shania Twain Cynthia said, “It just sort of happened. I had total strangers commenting that I look like Shania Twain and that I sound a lot like her when I sing her songs. Eventually my nick name became Shania. One night when I was singing at a local jam, I was asked if I would be interested in performing as a Shania Twain tribute artist. I didn’t even know what a tribute artist was but after some research, I realized it was a great opportunity to fine tune my skills as an entertainer and do what I love to do most, perform. Since then I have been touring all over North America. I have met so many wonderful people. I’m loving every minute of it!”
Cynthia possesses all the wonderful characteristics that Shania is known for, both physically and vocally. She appeals to people of all ages and personalities and invariably leaves a crowd excited and wanting more. As Shania does, Cynthia invites a few lucky viewers to join her on stage and she always includes the rest of the crowd in all of the fun with her playful antics. She covers all the hits from Twain’s “The Woman In Me,” “Come On Over” and “Up!” LPs.
What makes Cynthia Roberts such a great Tribute Artist? She has all the key elements it takes to be a professional entertainer. Because she is a recording artist in her own right, she carries that experience on stage with her. As a performer, she holds the rare ability to captivate an audience by conveying the raw emotion that lives in the heart of every song. Cynthia creates a room full of energy that gets toes tapping and makes it impossible to sit still.
This young and energetic entertainer will undoubtedly be remembered by audiences everywhere.
