palmlogowinters Cheryl Wheeler
Palms Playhouse, Winters CA
An evening hearing the great Cheryl Wheeler really is a unique treat. She is a writer of original songs that in an evening range from uniquely sublime, beautiful and delicate to songs and anecdotes that are among the funniest you will hear anywhere. She has a beautiful voice, is perfect as a songwriter/lyricist plus she is a natural story teller and a gifted comedienne. Her songs are often emotional portraits of people, leaving you with the impression that you know the characters. You find yourself being dragged into the song rather than standing outside and observing. From her songs you can get glimpses about her childhood, her adulthood, her neighbors, her surroundings and her time on the road. But the songs that touch people the most are her songs about relationships, such as “Arrow,” “ Aces,” “ But the Days and Nights Are Long” and “Gandhi/Buddha.”Wheeler’s first official recordings were made in mid 80’s and ever since then she has been recognized as one of folk and acoustic music’s premier and unforgettable acts. Opening act TBD.7:30 pm
