Early life
Wheeler, who was born and raised in Timonium, Maryland, began playing ukulele and guitar in middle school and writing songs in high school, as well as writing poems, proposing melodies to go with the poems in "The Golden Book of Poetry." Wheeler attended two years of community college and then moved to Coker College in South Carolina. She began working in early 1972. "I didn't stop worrying: Will I embark on a folk music career?" she said. "I resigned because I was in the 15th grade, and enough was enough already."
Wheeler was hired as a waitress at a steakhouse not long after graduating from college. "We knew we made a terrible mistake in a week," she said. "I could never be a waitress." They needed [a musician], and I thought I might do that, and they were relieved to find me out of waitressing.' Wheeler began playing at clubs in the Washington, D.C., and Baltimore area around the same time.
Personal life
The wheeler is openly lesbian. Cathleen and her partner, Cathleen, live in Swansea, Massachusetts, and they and her husband, Cathleen, reside. They were married in 2004, ten days after Massachusetts made same-sex marriage law.
Her production announced in October 2022 that her forthcoming concerts had been postponed due to hospitalization for mental health problems.
Career
Wheeler came from Providence, Rhode Island, and began playing at folk clubs around New England, including Jonathan Edwards, Tom Rush, Jesse Winchester, and Gordon Lightfoot.> Wheeler made his name when Edwards asked her to audition for a bass player for his band. Wheeler didn't play bass, but she did buy one and auditioned nonetheless. "I got the gig for the complete surprise," Wheeler recalled. "But I knew I didn't get it for my bass playing." So I suppose I must have gotten it for my singing. That was a good shot in the arm because I hadn't heard about it before, but I think I'd be a good singer if Jonathan Edwards is taking me."
Wheeler's first album, a four-song EP, was released in 1983, but it is now out of print. North Star Records in Providence produced her next two albums, a self-titled album in 1986 and Half a Book in 1987. Dan Seals, a country singer, released the song "Addicted" from his self-titled album, and it became a No. 1 on the charts. On Billboard's Top 40 Country chart, there was 1 hit for him in 1988.
Wheeler was signed to Capitol Records and published Circles and Arrows in 1990 following the success of her first two full length albums. Suzy Bogss produced Wheeler's song "Aces" from this album, and it debuted at #9 on the country charts in 1992. The folk-oriented Philo-Rounder Records in Cambridge, Massachusetts, produced Driving Home (1993), Mrs. Pinocci's Guitar (1995), Sylvia Hotel (1999), and Defying Gravity (2005).
Wheeler authorized the recording of No Previous Record, which features songs that never made it into a commercial release, in 2003. The album is free, but it is only available to members of her e-mail list.
Wheeler's two most recent albums – Pointing at the Sun (2009) and Cheryl Wheeler Live (2012) – were released by her own record company, Dias Records.
Other musicians have supported Wheeler's songs in addition to Dan Seals and Suzy Boguss. Kathy Mattea, Sylvia, Garth Brooks, Peter, Paul, and Mary is among them. Including Bette Midler, Kenny Loggins, Melanie Near, Melanie Near, and D.C. Anderson. Wheeler has said she does not write for others in the first place, but she does appreciate when others cover her songs. [It's] great. If they do well, I make money,” she said. "But more than that, it's amazing to see a singer you admire performing your song."
The song "If It Were Up to Me" (which was written shortly after the Jonesboro Massacre) caught national attention shortly after the Columbine High School massacre. Wheeler released the album into the public domain to discourage radio stations from paying royalties (it was being played every hour near the high school), and Rounder Records ran a fundraising effort to bring the Brady Campaign to the Brady Campaign each time the song was on Adult Album Alternative radio stations.
Wheeler was inducted into the Rhode Island Music Hall of Fame in 2014.
