As a vocalist, Barbara has a powerful voice with a dynamic range packed with emotion and energy that comes straight from her heart. Having been compared to such great artists as Linda Rondstadt, Patsy Cline, Connie Francis and LeAnn Rimes, you will witness the many vocal styles she is capable of when you see a Barbara Cecil show or a Johnny Limbo and the Lugnuts show. As well as singing her originals, Barbara also covers many other artist songs. Whether she's belting out a hard and edgy tune like Wynonna (No One Else on Earth), working in a yodel like LeAnn Rimes (Cowboy Sweetheart), or holding on to a high falsetto (Unchained Melody) you won't mistake her for anybody else as she has the ability to make every song her own.
As an entertainer Barbara steals the show! She is a polished performer with stage presence and delivery as big as the great outdoors. Cecil entertains and struts yet her humanity emanates out to the audience. She makes strangers into friends and friends into fans. Barbara has the image of a country style beauty queen but shows the audience that she is a real live girl, not just an image. She lacks the vanity of a pseudo star; Cecil is approachable and pleases audiences with her voice as well as her looks.
