Join us at 68 Mtn Rest Rd. on Saturday May 28th for an evening with new age, choral & film music composer / songwriter Cheryl B. Engelhardt.
Cheryl is a #1 best-selling and award-winning New Age recording artist, and a composer for films, commercials, theater, and social justice choirs. Her unique journey as an indie artist has landed her in Forbes, Grammy.com, Harper's Bazaar, and People, on stage singing with Sting, and on a train: being the first person to compose and produce an entire album on a cross-USA journey.
This performance will be a mix of her singer-songwriter past and her newest works from her award-winning New Age albums. Expect some piano, some relaxation, some jokes, and an evening of inspired music.
More About Cheryl:
She’s a mentor for GRAMMY U and has been a voting member of the Recording Academy since 2016. She’s a composer for social justice choirs and was featured in Harper's Bazaar, People, and Forbes Magazines for her collaboration with Dr. Martin Luther King’s goddaughter, Donzaleigh Abernathy, in her song “The Listening”. She’s traveled to perform premieres of her pieces in France, Jerusalem, Palestine, and Mexico.
Cheryl started her music career as an advertising and film composer in NYC, garnering several scores for nationally-airing commercials, before hitting the road with her pop band. Her pop records have dozens TV placements and she’s developed a fan base that continues to support her projects, including funding two albums for over $20k each. She’s become a staple in the New Age genre, hitting charts and being featured in meditation apps like Insight Timer as well as Spotify’s “EQUAL New Age” editorial playlist.
With a love of musical theater, it was a dream come true to write Boiler Room Girls with book writer Kevin Archambault (1977-2022) and produce the show for a weekend workshop for over 300 audience members. Her 5th record (and first in the New Age genre), “Luminary” hit #1 on iTunes and Amazon New Age charts and won New Age Music Guide’s “Album of the Year for 2020." “A Seeker’s Slumber”, her second New Age record that features GRAMMY-winner Joanie Leeds, topped sales charts in 2021. Her newest endeavor in New Age is her project “The Passenger”: creating a full album, from start to finish, on a cross-country train journey to be released in 2022. Cheryl is quickly becoming known as the vocal-stacking, anxiety-quelling, experimental New Age artist with a bit of edge.
Cheryl is committed to helping other independent musicians expand their careers, providing programs and coaching on her site In The Key Of Success. She hosts the Key Conversations podcast, the musician mastermind, AMPLIFY, and has been dubbed the “Email Marketing and Branding Queen”. She is a sought- after speaker and has presented at South By Southwest, ASCAP Expo, and multiple colleges and universities around the country. Engelhardt has over 850 hours of training as a creative career and life coach and is an active voice in the fight for representing the voices of women and BIPOC independent musicians.
With over 17 years of music business hustle under her belt, Cheryl has found balance in her purpose: to create experiential music that impacts the listener without dictating the listener experience. In this commitment, Cheryl has found a home in the New Age, theater, and classical/choral genres and looks forward to bringing her unique career perspective to her next collaborators.
