TRUE BLUE BOOKING & EVENTS
Cheryl Arena
Hohner Endorsee and two time winner of The Blues Audience Newsletter Reader's Poll for "Most Outstanding Harmonica Player" Cheryl is a New England native and a music lover since childhood...her earliest musical influences stemmed from listening to her mom’s Louis Armstrong and Billie Holiday records. She played several instruments before finally finding her true calling in the late 80’s...the HARMONICA... and began immersing herself into the Blues. Her 25+ year career has taken her all over the world and afforded her several opportunities to share the stage with numerous Blues greats such as Jr. Wells, Johnny Clyde Copeland and R.L Burnside, to name a few.
She is a triple threat – singer, songwriter and blows the harp like there is no tomorrow. A top-notch entertainer who loves what she does and shares that love and excitement with her audience. Her love of the Blues shines through on her Cd “Blues Got Me” and is prime example of the wide range of styles the Blues has to offer. The Cd features 7 of her original songs backed by a stellar band and produced by Duke Robillard, who also plays on a few cuts. And her love for playing the harmonica is evident each time she hits the stage!
