	Cheryl Wheeler
		Cheryl is very unusual, she’s very giving and funny.” Wheeler needs the audience to be at her best; she is very much an in the moment person.
		Wheeler is very much in touch with her audience, and I asked her what she thought about how America is doing right now, she said, “The people who come to my shows are of an (same) ilk (as me) all over the country.
		Again, rumor has it that Wheeler “was in a bad enough mood to actually attempt to write such a song.” When it came time to perform the comedic number at the “Songwriter’s Sweatshop Results” segment of the festival she realized no one from the session suggesting the song subject was in the audience.

	George Graham Reviews Cheryl Wheeler's "Defying Gravity"
		Wheeler: writer of songs capable of being pop hits, addressing the subject of love in various states of being torn asunder, and the creator of some very humorous songs, delivered in her sometimes laconic deadpan before a live audience.
		Wheeler is skilled at being poetic in her language, yet clear in her meaning, in a field in which vagueness often predominates.
		Wheeler's CD booklet notes include a conversation she had with a friend in which she asks if the record is too gloomy, and indeed, there are several songs about the dissolutions of love affairs, but they are tempered by some optimistic ones, along with the two live humorous songs.

	Cheryl Wheeler at the Me&Thee Coffeehouse, October 7, 2005 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Cheryl Wheeler admits that “I recognize that there is a certain irascible quality about me.” Maybe that’s why her music speaks to everybody’s twin selves: the good and the bad, the sensitive and the ugly, the warm and the cutting.
		As great as Wheeler is on disk, she has to be seen to be fully appreciated.
		Cheryl’s concerts are more like what you would find at a comedy club than expect to find at a folk music concert.

	Mail Tribune - Folk artist Cheryl Wheeler - October 20, 2006
		Wheeler is a folk festival favorite almost as much for her wit as for her singing and songwriting.
		Wheeler was raised in Timonium, Md., and began playing the guitar and ukulele as a child.
		Wheeler released the song into the public domain to exempt radio stations from paying royalties, and Rounder Records ran a promotion to donate to a gun-control campaign each time the song was played on AAA radio stations.

		Cheryl Wheeler was briefly signed to Capitol Records, who tried unsuccessfully to market her as a straight country artist back in 1990.
		Wheeler has a warm, throaty alto and marries forceful lyrics to simple, yet memorable, melodies.
		Wheeler's oddball humor is in evidence too, particularly on "Potato," a love song to the faithful tuber set to the tune of the Mexican hat dance.

	The Music Box: Best of a Breed - Kenny White and Cheryl Wheeler at Schubas in Chicago on May 15, 2003
		Kenny White and Cheryl Wheeler, two of the best solo-performers in the business, co-headlined an evening of singer-songwriter fare at Schubas Tavern in Chicago on May 15, and each brought distinctive sounds to the table unaccompanied by bands, fanfares, or gimmicks.
		The matching of White and Wheeler on a double-bill was a wise choice since they’re both recognized for their introspective lyrics and adept instrumentation.
		Wheeler’s Chicago set generally alternated between serious ballads from her albums, including Driving Home and Ghandi/Buddha, as well as fun novelty songs.

		By the time the album shifts into a couple of live tracks of Wheeler regaling the audience with the cell-phone absurdities of "It's the Phone" and the travails of air travel in "On the Plane," she has her crowd on the verge of tears of laughter.
		Cheryl Wheeler possesses one of the most beautiful and distinctive voices in the music business, and has (especially for these times) that rarest of talents: she writes memorable, TUNEFUL songs.
		This "other" Cheryl is best seen and heard live, and, indeed, the satyrical songs on her albums are often from concert performances, as are "It's The Phone" and "On The Plane," included on DEFYING GRAVITY.

		Cheryl's sense of humor is evident in Don't forget the guns, a sarcastic song in which Cheryl ridicules the American obsession with guns.
		On the reflective side, Cheryl sings of relationships going wrong (Act of nature, Bad connection) and the march of time (75 Septembers - a song in which she asks about how things used to be).
		Cheryl Wheeler is an awesome storyteller as well as musician.

	Cheryl Wheeler Different Stripe Review By Steven Stone (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		From the opening notes of her 1990 recording of "Northern Girl" you will immediately be struck by Cheryl's commandingly beautiful voice and consummate musicality.
		Wheeler's songs' subject matter spans from tales of love lost and found to satirical political commentary.
		Perhaps you are the kind of person who doesn't much care for "chick singers" or "sensitive singer-songwriters" and your political positions fall slightly to the right of Attila the Hun; still, a listen to Cheryl Wheeler might do you some serious good.

	Cheryl Wheeler at the Chocolate Church
		Wheeler was born in the small town of Timonium, Maryland, so the wistful rural vistas she glimpses so poignantly through her fleeting windshields really do represent the deep pull of place she feels in her wandering life.

	Cheryl Wheeler at Middle Earth
		Wheeler grew up in Timonium, Maryland, where she first learned ukulele and guitar from a neighbor.
		In 1990, Wheeler was signed by Capitol Records, who recorded her third album, "Circles and Arrows," in Nashville.
		Although it featured the irreverent CMT hit "Estate Sale," the defiantly independent Wheeler proved to be impossible to force into the Nashville mold, and she was quickly dropped.

		I would like to gratefully acknowledge the assistance of Cheryl's manager Tony Gottlieb, her booking agency Fleming/Tamulevich, as well as Steve Netsky and Mike Annis from her recording label Rounder for providing some of the information for these pages.
		Of course, I owe much to Cheryl herself, not only for the great music, but also because she has said nice things about these pages, and has (gently) corrected me on several errors she has found.

	Folk Alley: Extras (Cheryl Wheeler)
		Born in Maryland, Wheeler built a following in the Washington, DC area before branching out to the New England folk music scene, where she met Jonathan Edwards who went on to produce her first full-length album.
		As strong as Wheeler’s songwriting skills are, it’s safe to say her talent as a performer has cemented her sizable fan base.
		Alongside challenging songs about love and God, Wheeler also sings numbers such as the “Potato Song” — repeating the word potato and sung to the tune of the “Mexican Hat Dance.” She is not shy about her strong political leanings and she often uses elements of her own life in her music.

	Cheryl Wheeler by theexcuse.com
		It would be difficult to describe Cheryl Wheeler's music to folks who have never heard of her.
		She also shows a melancholy streak with the songs "But The Days And Nights Are Long", and the title track, "Sylvia Hotel." These songs showcase a woman I can identify with, because she tells it like it is. There's no trace of self-pity, just a dose of realism.
		Not to leave her listeners with a sense of gloom, Cheryl sticks on a hidden track called "We're The Bank." Anyone who's ever stood in line too long, dealt with one too many tellers or been told they've got to fill out 2 million forms for practically no reason at all will appreciate this song.

		Much like the moon in the painting that graces the cover of Defying Gravity, Cheryl Wheeler's musical offerings tend to illuminate the darker side of life.
		Dealing with the loss of someone can be difficult, and in the poignant "Since You've Been Gone" Wheeler wonders why "a woman my age," with her attendant wisdom, still manages to take it all so hard.
		Not all is gloomy in Wheeler's world, and there are glimmering passages of happiness in the pretty views from the "Little Road" or the mounting wanderlust of "Alice," a widower ready to see the world.

	Cheryl Wheeler : Defying Gravity - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Soured relationships, a troubled world, and even a hurricane are quietly explored through Wheeler's sage lyrics and gentle acoustic guitar.
		Wheeler's comedic side, much more appropriate in concert, breaks the tone of the disc with live concert recordings of audience favorites "It's the Phone," a rant on cell phone usage, and "On the Plane," a similar rant on air travel.
		Wheeler is much more successful when she builds humor into fully fleshed-out songs like "Here Come Floyd." Despite the annoyance of those two songs, Defying Gravity is one of Cheryl Wheeler's most heartfelt and beautiful sets.

		The new CD features brand new songs along with a rare cover of Cheryl singing Jessie Winchester's song "Defying Gravity." Three of Cheryl's original songs have been recorded live for the CD capturing her on stage humor and satirical wit, something that will delight fans of her live concerts.
		And there is her evil twin, comic-Cheryl, a militant trend definer and savagely funny social critic." Never one to do a repeat performance, each one of Cheryl Wheeler's concerts is unique and fresh every time.
		Cheryl's concerts have been likened to a Comedy Club act than to a purely folk music concert.

	FAME Review: Cheryl Wheeler - Defying Gravity
		One thing about Cheryl Wheeler that is often overlooked is her absolute joy in and celebration of the natural world.
		Wheeler rarely covers the work of other songwriters, so it's a pleasure to hear her sing Jesse Winchester's Defying Gravity, the title track.
		The funny, clever Cheryl Wheeler comes out in force in her "tributes" to the corruption of classical music themes in the various cellphone ringtones on It's the Phone, as well as the foibles of flying in On the Plane.

	Cheryl Wheeler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab1.tamu.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Although she mostly tours alone, she has recently toured with Kenny White (who produced her first EP album).
		Although primarily classified as a folk singer/songwriter, Wheeler has been covered by a number of country music artists, such as Dan Seals, Suzy Bogguss, Kathy Mattea, Sylvia, and Garth Brooks, as well as artists as diverse as Peter, Paul, and Mary, Bette Midler, Melanie, and cabaret singer D.C. Anderson.
		However, in several interviews she has indicated that if her song doesn't address that issue, but if we have decided that adults can have access to guns, then we should make sure that unsupervised children can't get access to them.
