Cheryl Wheeler with Kenny White

It has always seemed as if there were two Cheryl Wheelers, with fans of the New England songwriter relishing watching the two tussle for control of the mic. There is poet-Cheryl, writer of some of the prettiest, most alluring and intelligent ballads on the modern folk scene. And there is her evil twin, comic-Cheryl, a militant trend defier and savagely funny social critic. The result is a delightful contrast between poet and comic.

Kenny White opens the show with a set of his clever and musical original songs and accompanies Cheryl on her set.  Kenny comes to the world of the touring singer-songwriter following a long and successful musical journey as a studio musician and producer.  He regularly opens for Cheryl Wheeler and has toured as the opener for Stephen Stills & Judy Collins and many other well-known artists.  Born in New York City, Kenny began his career in the 1970s, touring exclusively as the keyboard player for Jonathan Edwards and later with Livingston Taylor, on Linda Ronstadt’s legendary, “Living in the USA” tour.  White contributed to film soundtracks as writer/musician including four films by Indie-director laureate, John Sayles.  Kenny also appears on dozens of recordings of other musicians, including Marc Cohn’s platinum debut..
