News About Cheryl

This page contains a number of news items about Cheryl. I'm really bad at thinking about updating this page, so I am hoping that some of you will send suggestions to CherylWheeler.com@gmail.com when you hear something interesting about Cheryl.

Stories should not include the jokes Cheryl tells during shows, but can be general stories that she jokes about. (For example, the story about building a swimming pool is fine, but not the specific jokes she tells.)

NashBash Celebrates CWList 10th Anniversary (25 March 2006)

On 25 March 2006, members of Cheryl's e-mail list, run by Shelly Brisbin assembled in Nashville, TN to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the list. Cheryl performed at the Belcourt. The show was originally planned for the Bluebird Cafe, but ticket sales quickly made a larger venue necessary. Kenny White opened for her as well as played with her during her set. The first few rows were reserved for members of the list. The person who travelled the furthest came from Australia.

After the show, Cheryl's manager held a meet and greet near the stage area. Cheryl joined in the festivities and spent a lot of time talking to her fans.

As some of you know, Cheryl is an avid reader. She mentioned during the show that she was reading Hairstyles of the Damned by Joe Meno which she loved. The day after the NashBash some list members stopped at a local bookstore for a copy of the book only to find out it sold out earlier that day. The store commented on how quickly the book had sold that day.

Cheryl is now Married (27 May 2004)

Since Cheryl lives in Massachusetts, she and Cathleen were able to get married. Cheryl's sister flew up for the ceremony.

When talking about the experience during her shows, Cheryl has mentioned that they are both surprised how different they feel now that they are married. They had assumed it wouldn't make that much difference (other than legal issues), but have come to find out that being married really does make a difference.

Acoustic Guitar Article on Cheryl's Guitars (October 1999 Issue)

Acoustic Guitar article on Cheryl's guitars (at the time).

Cheryl has used various guitars at her shows. What she uses depends somewhat on whether she drives or flies to the venue. She doesn't like to take certain guitars on airplanes, since they have to go into the baggage area.
