Welcome to Cheryl's!
We hope you enjoy browsing this site to learn more about Cheryl – her musical accomplishments are many and she hasnt stopped adding new accomplishments to her list! More recently added are her innovative Mood Music for Pets CDs. Here's what Cheryl has to say about them:
"Ever since I was a young girl, I have had a love for music and animals. In the mid 90s I had the idea of combining my two passions into a music CD. At the time, I was owner of a nightclub on Hilton Head Island called Cheryl's LeCabaret Piano Bar. (I entertained there as well as ran the place.) I started the musical pet project, but as life unfolded, the project kept getting set aside."
"All of that changed in June of 2007. For the first time in many years, my schedule was freed up to where I could spend most of the summer working on the music for the pet project. A new company was formed...Mood Music Media Company! There's my company partners Mark and Lise Husbands, (a wonderful musical couple on Hilton Head Island whom I've known for years. Mark is a multi-talented drummer with 'The Headliners' Band for many years - a very talented and well known group of musicians who can play anything and have traveled everywhere! but make their homebase in the Lowcountry of South Carolina). There's also Jeff Borthick, (my man! whose full time job is selling real estate for ERA). I was able to record my songs with Mark at their studio (Husbands Productions Studio). Mark mixed and produced the final product. I worked with Lise on getting the graphics perfected, and she worked endlessly doing research, printing, computering as well as numerous other things! Jeff wrote the titles (from his 'animal mindset') and helped with the websites. Collectively, we have done so much more – too much to list. The CD is finished now, and I couldnt be happier! I feel great about the finished product... here's some information about it:
"Your pets will LOVE these! Whether you're a cat lover or a dog fan, you will find Mood Music for Cats (And Cat Lovers), and Mood Music for Dogs (And Dog Lovers) – a perfect match to help your pet relax while you're away from home, or relieve stress due to traveling, bad weather, trauma from injury, weaning pups, etc. Plus, they make perfect gifts for the pet owner who has everything! The titles are cute and humorous, the instrumental music is beautiful and emotionally settling, composed and played by Cheryl on grand piano, intertwined with a touch of strings, flute and harp – plus part of the proceeds go to two charities that are true in their work, and close to Cheryls heart, (ASPCA – American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) and the Alzheimer's Research Foundation – Fisher Center. It helps both pets and people! Now, thats a winner! Click on the Mood Music For Pets button on the menu bar on the left for more information or to order. *NOTE* The compositions are completely different on each Pet CD except for the last song, "Under The Bed," a flute piece."

In addition, they can be purchased at Barnes & Noble and Canine Palace (corner of Abercorn and East Hall) in Savannah, GA, and Mall of America in MN. Cheryl also sells them wherever she's performing.

A note from Cheryl:
I'd like to thank those who have supported me in my music by coming to hear me sing/play and also by purchasing my CD's...I met many terrific people last year; many because of music!
I'd like to say a special thank you to those who have purchased our Pet CD's - "Mood Music for Dogs and Dog Lovers" and "Mood Music for Cats and Cat Lovers". These CD's have become favorites for pet owners to use with their beloved cat or dog to calm their mood with instrumental music I wrote...plus, the sale of each CD has allowed me to be able to write checks to the following charities close to my heart: the ASPCA and The Alzheimer's Research Foundation. Thank you!
