First Folk Sunday is back with Suzanne Sheridan at the mic. On August 2, Sheridan will be joined by Bob Cooper on keyboards and Howard Kesten on percussion to bring you a very special tribute concert to a very special songwriter – Cheryl Wheeler.

You may not be familiar with Cheryl, but you have probably heard her music. She is very respected as a songwriter by her peers and her songs have been covered by artists as diverse as Peter Paul and Mary, Kenny Loggins, Garth Brooks, Suzy Boggus, Melanie, Bette Midler, Kathy Mattea, and Holly Near. Suzanne Sheridan is taking this opportunity to share her love of Cheryl’s music with you.

What makes Cheryl Wheeler’s music so appealing to so many diverse audiences is her ability to make you cry one minute and laugh hysterically the next. Cheryl's songs are often emotional portraits of people, leaving you with the impression that you know the characters. You find yourself being dragged into the song rather than standing outside and observing. On her CD “Sylvia Hotel” is a song titled “But the Days and Nights Are Long.” The first line of that song is “Life is short but the days and nights are long.” She writes about New England, her neighbors, her surroundings, her time on the road, and most of all about relationships. Then she flips the coin and writes hilarious situation comedies. Suzanne will be singing the comic song "Potato" which is set to the tune of the Mexican Hat Dance.

All First Folk Sunday concerts are at the Saugatuck Rowing Club at 521 Riverside Avenue in Westport. Doors open at noon and the music starts at 12:30. The venue is handicapped accessible and there is ample parking on the premise and across the street at 518 Riverside Avenue. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased online at the First Folk Sunday website: https://firstfolksunday.com. For more information call Rozanne Gates at 203-984-7562.
