Cheryl came out first and was fighting a very bad cold. She did a very good job of powering through. The people closest to us hadn't seen her before and I thought it was too bad that they weren't hearing her in her best voice since she normally sings so well. Her quick wit was unaffected by the cold and she had the crowd laughing as usual.
John Gorka was also funny, but said that he hadn't relearned some of his songs prior to the tour. When people requested a certain song he made the comment "I wish I knew that one right now.." That was disappointing since you'd expect to be able to request his earlier songs too. I personally feel Gorka's best work is from his 1st 3 records. It would have been nice to hear more from these. He played a tiny electric guitar at one point that had some feedback that wouldn't go away. Could have lived without that.

It doesn't get much better than this.... Kenny White leading off with some hilarious music and stories --- followed by Cheryl with a nice mix of new/new (<4 weeks old), new and some oldies.
A couple of the new/new and new songs were outstanding -- hope she puts them on her next album.

This evening was one that I was really excited about! I didn't know Peyton Tochterman but was absolutely delighted with his work, so much so that I bought his CD which he kindly signed for me, and I'm on a budget! I think the audience agreed.
Cheryl of course was fabulous! So funny, so ascerbic-- a fun time. She can be so sarcastic at times and then turn around and be the most tender....
This was a good pairing.....

Been to Cheryls concerts for 16 years. Never missed one yet! This one she was as delightful as usual. Her voice is like angels voices. the humor is so refreshing and real. she hits a note of resonance of truth and comfort. Her consistent quality is rewards for deadication to the purity of herself and sharing it with her fans base is a gift. She is always welcome at our home in the coastal nortwest of Oregon if she needed a calm stay in the adventure of the road!

Opening act(s): Lisa Longett (?sp?) - (a new artist for us, bought her CD as well, but my husband took it with him today). A very accomplished young lady, lovely voice, and very poetic songwriter. @

Having seen Cheryl in concert several times, I knew what to expect, and although our expectations were very high, she exceeded them marvelously! A wonderful poet, astute verbal artist and amazing musician, she is a master at taking her audiences through an emotional roller coaster, from tears to intense hilarity without missing a beat. Her delightfully twisted sense of humor and perspectives help us all survive, as Tom Lehrer once put it, our "slide down the razor blade of life". Thank you, Cheryl!!!!

If you have not seen her live, you should do so the next chance you have. Her voice is remarkable and it is not the product of studio wizardry. Her voice is every bit as good live as on her recordings. The humor that is evident in much of her studio work really shines in her live performances.

Favorite moment: Esate Sate - which she rarely ever sings, and Ghandi, Bhudda song. @

Cheryl seemed tired, worn and a bit more confused. More talk than songs, though I know there is always a mix in her concerts. She appeared to be more forgetful, and worn out. Sat through the "fake last song and told us as she sat there, "I.m back". Two older songs were great, esp. Estate sale! What I call the silly songs were plentiful: Potato, and songs about her cat. I would have prefered her to sing her songs of more depth, passion and movement than silliness.
She seems like she is winding down to retire. All in all, I love her and would see her again.

As a songwriter, Cheryl Wheeler is as moving and gifted as James Taylor, Jackson Browne, Stephen Stills...in fact, anyone. Her lyrics and melodies touch your soul and her vocals hold you like a warm blanket and make you feel the way she wants you to. Such a beautiful mind. It was truely an honor to finally have seen her live.

One of the best evenings! Cheryl Wheeler is not only a gifted singer/songwriter/guitarist with a beautiful, resonant voice, she is hysterical! We laughed just as much between each song as we enjoyed listening to her perform each song. Bloody fantastic! Her stories are funny and insightful about society today - which means, of course, I agree with her view of the world! And absolutely enjoyed her (funny) stories about how each song came into being. She is truly genuine on stage, comfortable with herself and the audience. If you have any doubts about spending money to see her, put them all aside. You won't regret it and you'll be telling everybody else to go see her!

Cheryl is a consummate songwriter -- her lyrics and melodies haunt you in their touching simplicity of style. And, as an added bonus, she is an amazing storyteller!!! She had me laughing from the gut -- almost to tears -- with her personal tales of family, friends, pets and other unspeakable subjects!

A consummate story teller, Cheryl Wheeler used her music and her wit to take us through a range of emotions from melancholic nostalgia to riotous laughter. Explaining that "the job of the folk singer is to comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable," Cheryl entertained the crowd with songs showcasing her beautiful voice, soft soul, and dry wit. It was another wonderful experience!

Cheryl Wheeler's performance combines her amazing talent as a musician with her equally remarkable humor. She performs with a casual ease and humility that creates a comfortable and relaxing environment. Her songs range from poignant lyrics of loss and pain, to songs of wonder and gratitude for beauty in life, to funny songs about potatoes and politics. She is so self-effacing and easy to relate to that you can't help but be touched by her stories and her songs. I've seen her five or six times. I think she just keeps getting better.
