Tonight's Show at the Muddy Cup in Poughkeepsie has been CANCELLED -- unforeseen circumstances and twists of fate have occurred that prevent us from entertaining the welcoming populace of Poughkeepsie: it has been shut down. We apologize for any inconvenience.

HOWEVER -- take a note that we'll be at the New Paltz Muddy Cup this coming Friday, December 19th, and that show is FREE, NO COVER, NADA. So relax, and we'll see all you Rhodies then!

And of course, we raise our collective coffee mugs to toast and give a special thank-you to the Muddy Cup(s) for their continuing support of our music [and ALL local music].

CHERYL WHEELER
Acoustic, Singer-Songwriter
Towne Crier Cafe
130 Route 22
Pawling, NY   See Map
From her albums you can tell that Cheryl is a gifted songwriter with a beautiful voice. But, if your idea of a folk singer/songwriter concert is a bunch of people clapping politely after songs, and then sitting quietly while the performer says things like "This next song is about..." – well, you've never seen a Cheryl Wheeler concert before! Cheryl's concerts are more like what you would find at a comedy club than what you'd expect to find at a folk music concert. She is a natural story teller with a fantastic sense of humor that will have you rolling in the aisles. She might then just as naturally sing a song that leaves you wiping tears from your eyes. Her entire concert is like that emotional roller coaster we call life. The L.A. Times called her "Will Rogers with a guitar"; reviewers across the country have praised her for her singular song writing talent, as well as her richly expressive voice and hilariously sharp wit.
