"I love hearing sweet jazz guitar such as Joe Pass, Herb Ellis etc...and I had no idea that Madison had a gem like Barb. Now I do, and I look forward to making some of her shows in the future. I will be listening to her amazing CD, Interplay, in the meantime." -H.T.Fil (Booking Agent), The Keg, Martinsville, WI “Cheron’s musical reach keeps growing…a truly interesting improviser. She moves easily from jazz to blues to ballads.” As a soloist, she’s well worth listening to.
