Album Notes

Springfield, Cheryl Fare’s newly released collection of original songs, is a fun and intriguing blend of jazz, blues, and folk rock, featuring truly fine lyrics and stellar musical performances. With clever and enticing lyrics, combined with evocative vocal stylings, Cheryl showcases her talents as a writer and performer, with splendid results. Described as “intimate and laid back, vulnerable and haunting”, Springfield takes the listener on a “powerful, sultry, and captivating” journey - “Like all good blues artists, she lets you know you’re not alone.” Drawing comparisons to Cowboy Junkies, Norah Jones, and Phoebe Snow, the “alluring” vocals and songwriting of Springfield make the trek from “sweet heartache”, through “shady summer back roads”, and back again.
