Album Notes

CHERYL METRICK is a warmly engaging Pop/Jazz/Torch Singer from Long Island, New York. She has performed at most of the major hotels in the New York Catskills and many Manhattan Cabaret/Jazz clubs. She is also an actress in theatre, television and several independent films, such as: THE SIGNS OF THE CROSS, MATTIE FRESNO AND THE HOLOFLUX UNIVERSE, AUSTIN'S ANGELS, THE DRUM BEATS TWICE, and LIZ...Among Others. The following is a review of the live performance of "FANTASY & ROMANCE" at Eighty Eight's, a New York City cabaret:

Cheryl Metrick ...from the way she took command of that stage you would swear she'd been here before. Whether it be Rodgers and Hart's "Where or When" in a slow waltz, or the pairing of "Somewhere" with "Somewhere Out There", everything was right in place and her body language, connecting with the audience, was first-rate. Her material was a mixture; Nat King Cole's "Unforgettable" and "Nature Boy" waxed Metrick nostalgic, while "Smile" written by Charlie Chaplin was inspirational. Not to mention the beautiful "Rainbow Medley" with "Over the Rainbow", "Rainbow Connection", "Look to the Rainbow", and "I'm Always Chasing Rainbows". She was just as at home with the hilarious "Beethoven Chased by Rossini", with lyrics by Garrison Keillor, sung as if she were a cat. She was in great company on the stage with Frank Owens on piano, Conrad Adderly on bass, and Peter Grant on drums. No doubt that she'll be back - watch for Cheryl Metrick!
