Joni Mitchell, Bruce Cockburn, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Eva Cassidy and Iron and Wine would be main ones. There's a bazillion... in other words, too many to list. pretty much anything acoustic, melodic, harmonic and lyrically and instrumentally interesting.
"Step out of your frustrations, and heal your wounds
when you step into inspiration from hearing a Cheryl Beatty song. Aside from the
beautiful voice with an amazing range, Cheryl also brings with her an undisputed
truth of being a very talented singer/songwriter. Her guitar arrangements
possess the perfect mix of classic and contemporary folk music. There is a
certain distinction in the way her intricate rhythms embrace themselves around
her insightful lyrics. Her songs speak of longing for passion, reminiscing of
beautiful memories and overcoming sadness and hard times. She has brilliantly
conveyed these feelings so well that within just one Cheryl Beatty song comes an
evocation of so many feelings and emotions that at times you feel you are at
prayer. Cheryls music brings perspective, brilliance, and peace, and when it
comes to her songwriting, its an evolution that we would like to keep our
ears open to."
I very much hope to see and hear you soon. I'm not often in the city now and was fairly sore at not being able to catch your last two shows. Get more. Meantime I mark the 21st of November down on my calender. Keep us posted. Get more shows, Cheryl. You deserve to be heard.
Hello, my friend. Another Tankism to brighten your week. Hope it helps :)
Look at life from the perspective of what you have NOW, what you are grateful for NOW. If you continue to look into the PAST as to what you have lost, when you open your PRESENT, you will not like what you get. However, by focusing firmly on where you are directing your FUTURE by thinking on those things which are good and pure and what you do want to happen, as you unfold your PRESENT, you will find the gift that you know you really want. And, it really is that simple. As a wise person once said: If you believe you can't, you're rightif yet if you believe you CAN, you're right. What do you believe? :)
THANKS FOR BEING OUR FRIEND!!! We’ll be updating frequently with videos, blogs, pictures and music! For now have a listen and let us know what ya think! If you have any questions? I LOVE QUESTIONS! Keep in touch, PEACE & LOVE, -Brandon Robins
I haven't been able to make it to your last two shows. The reasons are utterly mundane and overly complex at the same time. I hope you've one lined up soon, because I'd really like to hear you again.
Hey girl, how's it going? I was just listening to your songs and the memories just started flooding back. I miss you and hope to see you sometime soon. By the way, your name will be in lights soon.
