Cheryl Wheeler - Live From Newport

[@Tevoro1962]

Cheryl could sing my income tax return and I'd still love every word of it.

[@amyww]

Well said! Her voice is golden.

[@Vydios123]

Best comment!

[@dudorotomy]

She is a treasure. Hope she knows it.

[@ralstonvmd]

Absolutely!

I have been listening to Cheryl Wheeler for a good 35 years. And early recordings her voice is clear and youthful and very beautiful but now that she is around my age her voice is going to patina that youth can never give us. I saw Cheryl in concert in North Hampton at the Iron Horse The year before Covid and with each passing year well she may not be able to hit the highest note in performances are even more beautiful. I just want to thank you Cheryl wherever you are you’re bringing so much beauty into my life for 35 years or more. God bless you.

I am so, so glad this showed up on youtube, my little window on the world as I get older and less active. From the very first note I felt my heart start to laugh and my soul start to smile and my eyes start to leak tears.
So many precious, wonderful memories attached to her songs for me. I first saw her in Boston back in the early 80's and became a life long fan. Thanks for all the wonderful words and songs that you have given us.

[@terryvictor1]

Geez, her voice is still like butter. Beautiful. So amazing. Nobody is like Cheryl Wheeler. And the writing....

[@MrA259]

Lovely person who is about to return to us after 6 months of growth and self-care. We have missed you. Will welcome you back. Bless you. gentle spirit

I'll never forget when Cheryl and this song burst through the folk air waves probably close to 40 years ago. I had trouble finding- and eventually buying- the album through a mail order catalog...and then, somehow, without an Internet or You Tube, I lost her and the album. She's just so great, how did I let all this time go by? THANK YOU ,CHERYL, and thank you Newport Performing Arts Center for this video!

I was living in Wisconsin years ago and a local man I had done a story on for the small-town newspaper passed away. His widow knew of Cheryl Wheeler and played a song of hers at the funeral. She heard that CW was playing at Thrasher Opera House in Green Lake, about an hour or so drive away and didn't want to go alone. Even though I hadn't heard of her, I was happy to go along. It was a great experience...CW can have you laughing your breath away during the interlude between songs and outwardly crying the next moment while she sings a story of one of her many life experiences. It was one of the most cathartic shows I've ever been to. Hearing her sing is worth anything you have to do to get to the show. RIP Richard and 🌷to Peggy.

[@paulholyfield]

If there is some haven where all the greatest songs ever written go and exist into infinity, surely Arrow is amongst them.

[@kemscm]

This is wonderful. Shows off a quiet side of CW that isn't often seen on UA-cam....and showcases her wonderful guitar playing. And lyric-writing. Oh, hell, she's just great.

[@LostintheTwilightZone]

How come I have never heard of this increible performer before???? Beautiful voice, wonderful guitar and lovely songs......So glad I have finally found her!!!!

[@torque_dwf]

A famous artist did cover one of her songs but yes she is mostly not as famous as she deserves to be

[@LinkRocks]

@@torque_dwf Dan Seals recorded Addicted. There's video on here of her singing it with Dan.

[@aekelly]

Such a beautiful soul. She can make me cry one minute and then laugh hysterically the next. Praying she is getting good care for her mental health struggle and is feeling better really soon!

[@LinkRocks]

The emotion in Cheryl's songs are second to none. She's such an amazing talent.

[@davevadnais8166]

I've always absolutely loved Cheryl since the '80s. I've seen her perform several times and have had the chance to talk with her. Such a great musician and a sweet lady. And funny as hell.

[@judicalder9252]

What a voice! My very favorite is When Fall Comes To New England. Oh silly me. It brings tears to my eyes.

[@andreacooper8048]

So great to hear and especially see Cheryl Wheeler sing in an informal setting. And, for me, an aging boomer folk singer myself, to see her embrace her age, gray hair and all. No slinky dress and cowboy boots. Died in the wool consummate singer and storyteller. This song, and When Fall Comes to New England still make me stop dead in my tracks.

[@-solidsnake-]

good to see Cheryl still playing and sounding better than ever

[@SingularVerse]

You Miss Cheryl are a channel of our fondest memories--chasing around the Southwest to see where you will pop up next. From San Diego to Sedona to Pinos Altos maybe to Colorado perhaps to Berkeley, we listen to your voice as your notes scatter across the landscapes. We wonder where you will travel next as our dogs sleep nearby, dreaming of a new lyrical adventure. We wonder and prepare to wander to find the gift that is you. Bless you always in all ways.

[@geepeerces]

I do remember seeing Cheryl several times in/around Santa Cruz as well as at the Strawberry Music Festival in the late 80s to mid 90s... Every show was mermorable. Then she just slowly faded away until i ran into this video and remembered her.

[@katheenburke7950]

I can remember looking forward to either every other Saturday or Sunday night when you Cherly played for many years at “My Brother’s Pub”. Yes I was addicted from the beginning and still listen to your music today (I am soon to be 72) and not a day goes but where I don’t play a few of your most heart felt songs. Keep playing and singing you and your music will always make my heart soar.

[@Papalheart]

Cheryl this song touches my heart! Remember you and I at my grandparents? I love your music! I love that you were such an awesome part of my life! ❤

[@andreagalvin7386]

Remembering early Cheryl @ the Wintertime Coffee House on Martha's Vineyard many years ago

[@louiseplacek2960]

Love this woman.

[@myrahealy238]

So terrific to see her and hear her singing and perfectly crafted songs! She is mellow here.🙂

[@jamesrosendale5732]

time has improved her ... only my most intense admiration for you.

[@evabelt2646]

SHE IS SOOOO AWESOME!!!!LOVE HER!!!!

[@guy4462]

She's fantastic, always was. I've been listening for years, saw her live in Ohio.

[@lisaflynn4550]

I love this beautiful recording. I’ve loved this song since the 80s but this has such wisdom, pain and truth.

[@dizzyd243]

Thank you, Live from Newport, for bringing us the words & music of Cheryl Wheeler. She's inspiring, warm, sincere, funny, and oh, so talented!

[@dancelzard]

Thank you for this. An intimate update with a wonderful voice! Onward!

[@ruthlevy3404]

I've waited a long time and tomorrow I get to see you at Bombyx.... ❤

[@thereseojibway7951]

I'm so happy to have found this. I'm an instant fan. Cheryl has a beautiful voice and intelligent, moving lyrics.

[@lydiamcanerney5441]

Her songs still bring tears to my eyes...this one especially. Wish she would come back out to the mid-west.

[@sullivanmusic]

Thank you Cheryl! I opened for you years ago at Common Fence Music, you were great then and now.

[@maryczarnecki7695]

Wow-- I haven't heard Cheryl Wheeler in years! Such a mellow, deep talent. She just has such a centered wisdom & charisma and I love what she says about performing, about the connection between singer and audience, and about people who truly love folk music... so true. She's so at ease and so funny; I would love to see her in concert, but it looks like she is only booked for a few gigs in California. Come to Michigan!

[@ElaineSilverFaerieElaine]

L O V E D it! Thanks Cheryl and all who put this on. Blessings from Sarasota, Flori-duh.

[@pemman]

A voice so easy, so very easy to listen to due to the clarity and voice. :) :)

[@shaneloper3939]

My favorite song ever is "Addicted".....the most feeling in any song I've ever heard. It is my soul mate's and my favorite song.

[@sunnyvibes8528]

A friend brought me to your concert at Mt Wachusett Comm College- back in 2000(ish). I hadn’t heard your music. I immediately loved your voice and nearly peed myself laughing. She said “wait til you hear Arrow”... omg I cried. Glad to see you on UA-cam!!

[@user-ok2ky8pl6i]

We use to enjoy your concerts at Stone Soup and various venues! Please come to the Newport area again!

[@TheMjjrothen]

I wish i had discovered your music years ago. So beautiful.

[@larryryan5108]

Awesome! Thank You!

[@tenabar4555]

That hit the spot! Thank you Cheryl!! I heard of you on Nicole Sandler, another great artist!

[@jwriunguriungu1871]

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for sharing this you made my evening and my entire week!....God Bless you.......

[@jimpuliafico]

‘Piper’ is hands down the best written song about songwriting that a songwriter ever wrote. Which is saying a lot when you consider it’s company like Chicago’s ‘25 or 6 to 4’ or Manilow’s ‘I Write The Songs’.

[@valribromfield833]

CW is amazing and yes, good idea, bring back the festival!

[@demiztuff]

Wonderful singer.

[@jailayagan1605]

new favorite. first heard her in her duet with dan seals

[@kanchanabhilash842]

Sweetest and sharpest singer❤

[@lynnej.9357]

Wow! Thanks for this!

[@jwriunguriungu1871]

Am awesome treat!......

[@bethgrove5548]

I love you, girl. You are so damn cute, and funny!!

[@jwriunguriungu1871]

Arrow!.....Cheryl.....this is.......

[@ragrisl]

great!

[@oraetdecora6262]

💓

[@karendickson1529]

I've missed your posts, don't seem to get them anymore. Hope you're well and still singing all the good stuff.

[@jwriunguriungu1871]

Yeah......

[@TaxationIsThieving]

You've finally shelved some of the pies then!

[@silverhoyden4178]

Was this a public performance? I was in Newport 2 weeks ago. I’m heartbroken to think I might have missed this. Cheryl Wheeler is one of my favorites.

[@lauramartin3347]

by context i'd say no ~ empty echoing bldg. wanting to be renovated {she mentioned } ~ & no sound of audience ~

[@bruce8429]

What is SALT?

[@bruce8429]

And I don't mean the mineral or initials for what politicians fail to do.

[@kristamonroe8798]

It was a legendary folk music venue (bar) in Newport, RI, USA
