Cindy Lee Berryhill San Diego Music Hall of Fame member Cindy Lee Berryhill emerged as a distinctive voice in alternative music during the late 1980s. Her 1987 debut album, "Who’s Gonna Save the World?" (Rhino Records), featuring the popular track “Damn, I Wish I Was a Man,” was praised for its straightforward and humorous approach. Her career has been characterized by provocative lyrics, compelling melodies, and extensive touring alongside prominent acts like Peter Buck (REM), David Lindley, and The Smithereens. She was a founding member of the New York City Anti-folk movement, which inspired Beck, Michelle Shocked, and others. Her influence grew through her involvement in diverse musical ventures and collaborations such as those with Lenny Kaye (Patti Smith Group), who produced her second record. Berryhill’s third album, "Garage Orchestra" (Cargo Records), released in 1994, marked a departure into Tin Pan Alley meets Beach Boys meets Patti Smith–inspired compositions, highlighting her musical versatility. Her politically charged song “When Did Jesus Become a Republican?” gained considerable attention in 2006 after being prominently featured on Neil Young’s Living with War Today website. Her music has served as a means to navigate personal challenges and connect with audiences, particularly evident in her albums "Beloved Stranger" (2008) and "The Adventurist" (2017), which reflect on her late husband’s legacy and her own life moving forward.

Her natural ability and innate passion for music made her career inevitable, and her tumultuous life has given her plenty of inspiration.

She won Best Pop in the 2015 San Diego Music Awards, Best Pop Album for Sleeping Bear in 2014, and Best Singer-Songwriter in 2013. Classically trained on the piano from the age of 4, she plays over 20 instruments, including the mountain dulcimer, banjo, folk harp, and balalaika.
