Cheryl Wheeler (born July 10, 1951) is an American singer-songwriter of contemporary folk music, based in New England. To date, she has recorded several folk albums, and has toured extensively throughout the United States.
Wheeler was born in Timonium, Maryland, where she attended Dulaney High School. She performed at clubs in the Washington, D.C. and Baltimore area. She moved to Rhode Island in 1976, where she played at various clubs in the New England area. Jonathan Edwards asked her to tour with him when his bass player became unavailable. He has since produced a number of her albums. Wheeler and her partner, Cathleen, were married in 2004.
Wheeler tours extensively, and her live concerts include comic routines and serious discussions in addition to the songs themselves. About half of the songs she performs in concerts are not available on any of her albums. Many never get recorded, and eventually fade from her set list. Although she mostly tours alone, she has also toured with Kenny White (who produced a number of her albums). White generally opens for her, and then plays and sings harmony during Wheeler's set. Wheeler has also toured with the Christine Lavin-inspired tour "On a Winter's Night", and occasionally as part of Lavin's consortium Four Bitchin' Babes.

Plot: Cheryl (Janine Turner) and Alex Wheeler (Robert Merrill) are seemingly happily married, with two beautiful daughters. But when Alex decides to look up his college sweetheart Suzanne Kennerly, he has no idea that his actions will lead to Cheryl also being reunited with her college sweetheart, Phil Welch. In fact, we soon discover that these four are actually actors making a film. The real Alex Wheeler is a filmmaker directing a movie about his complex relationships with the real Suzanne and the real Cheryl. Through the multiple layers of the film-within-the-film, the characters explore their most important relationships and confront their deepest questions.
Keywords: love, two-word-titleThis is a lonely life
As I know you know too well
I'm thinking of you tonight
Here in the Sylvia Hotel.
Smoking a cigarette
Drinking a glass of beer
Catching a conversation
I am trying not to hear.
One more
Why not, okay
Guess I'm glad I came
To stare at English Bay
Under all the rain.
There's a cat in this bar right now
Twitching his tail away
I called with a soft meow
Maybe he only speaks Francais.
You must be safe in bed
Down in your cowboy home
I don't wonder why you left
I wonder why you stayed so long.
One more
Why not, okay
I'm glad I came
And here's to English Bay
In the lovely rain.
I found some matches from Durango in my pocket
But if I let my heart get sad then I can't stop it.
And this is a lonely life
Though I think it suits me well
And everything's fine tonight
