Album Notes

Cheri is a performing musical artist, community leader and Spiritual Teacher who works with the drum as a tool for community building, self-empowerment, and healing. Her performances are all totally unique, depending on the venue, the project she's working on, and the setting. Cheri has produced 3 solo CD's, two of which are available here at CD baby.

Currently Cheri is focousing on her band, "Muse of Turiya." She is the lead singer, lyricist and original founding member of the band, which is a soulful, hypnotic trance band based out of Boulder, CO.

Cheri's styles run the gamut from soft hip-hop, Earth based chants to funky, trancey eclectic psychedelia, with shows always promising diversity and powerful rhythmical interplay.

In the words of one of her students,
"Cheri shows us ways to connect back to our own sacredness through body, heart and spirit through her music." (-Lauren Tietje, Bennington, VT)

Cheri is currently working on two new CD's: a meditative, journey based project and a Muse of Turiya first release. Keep posted with her work at www.cherishanti.com

REVIEWS

AWESOME, Cheri inspires the depths of woman and truth.
author: Laura Prowitz
RAW is just that, RAW and full of the love of truth and passionate wildness that is woman's spirit. I especially love Ancestor Song for that passionate expression. Cheri has a style that is very unique in that she is obviously not trying to be "like" anyone, she just is through her songs. Open Your Heart is in 15 during the verse, I've never heard anyone do that before, in a song that's so catchy and not far out.. Thanks Cheri for your work, I look forward to your new CDs.

Unique, hypnotic, inspiring....
author: Joseph Gilland
Raw is so straight forward.....like nature itself. It is so great to hear a musician who does not have to try and fill a niche...it is one of the most original sounds you will ever hear, not trying to be anything but natural, and straight from the soul. This is 'soul' music! I highly reccomend it!

dark timeless roots and bright youthful sound
author: Michael Scriven
A solid group of songs with positive, often bursting energy. What is most interesting about this CD is the contrast of ancient, dark timeless roots and bright youthful sound, both of which come across very clearly. Listen to this one while you drive.
