Cheryl Wheeler

She has released albums on several major labels, the most recent being Dias Records. She also approved the production of a double disc album, No Previous Record, that contains songs that never made it onto a commercial recording. Distribution of this album is free, but restricted to members of her e-mail list. In 2009, she released the album Pointing at the Sun on her own recording label, Dias Records.

In 1988, Wheeler participated in a "trio" concert with fellow folk singer-songwriters Shawn Colvin and Mary Chapin Carpenter. This concert took place the year before Colvin released her debut album. The three performed on two consecutive nights to critical acclaim, at The Birchmere in Alexandria, Virginia. The two performances were recorded at the soundboard and although never released officially, have been favorites among fans of the three artists.
