Cheryl Wheeler in Concert to Benefit The Nature Connection Join us for an evening with Cheryl Wheeler in a benefit concert for The Nature Connection. Surely one of the most popular performers on the folk music circuit, Cheryl Wheeler is an exceptionally entertaining singer/songwriter, with a repertoire that includes beautiful ballads, upbeat tunes that reflect the quirkier things in life (such as “Handy House”), and an ability to tell a story with such a delightful comedic delivery that the audience will be rolling on the floor with laughter. Tickets available online now for both the pre-show Reception at 7pm, featuring refreshments, a visit from Cheryl, and reserved seating, and for general admission tickets to the 8pm show. Advance tickets are available by following this link or at the door: call (978) 369-2585. |
