<div style="font-family:inherit;text-align:start;" dir="auto"><strong>RIP Bernie Marsden </strong></div>
<div style="font-family:inherit;text-align:start;" dir="auto">Thank you for the most awesome treasured memories and the many laughs.</div>
<div style="font-family:inherit;text-align:start;" dir="auto">All my love to Fran and the girls.</div>
<div style="font-family:inherit;text-align:start;" dir="auto"> </div>
<div style="font-family:inherit;text-align:start;" dir="auto">We met back in 2011 at Paul Jones' annual charity concert where we were both performing and chatted for ages backstage about our love for blues music/history and also we had mutual Mississippi musician friends we'd both played with too. I think he was impressed a twenty-something (at the time!) knew her blues! He called me a few days later and asked me to join him on his tour in 2012 and later sing a track on his Shine album (released 2014).</div>
<div style="font-family:inherit;text-align:start;" dir="auto">So many memories and awesome moments shared on stage with him on his UK tours, at festivals and a couple times at Silverstone's British Grand Prix. There was definitely not a dull moment to be had! I was always welcomed at his home by his lovely family too.</div>
<div style="font-family:inherit;text-align:start;" dir="auto">He will most definitely be missed, a true one off and talent by the bucketloads.</div>
<div style="font-family:inherit;text-align:start;" dir="auto"><strong>Off to that Great Gig In The Sky "Bernster" </strong></div>
<div style="font-family:inherit;text-align:start;" dir="auto"><strong>Thank you for your faith and belief.</strong></div>
<div style="font-family:inherit;text-align:start;" dir="auto"><strong>Love "Mewis" (as he always called me)</strong></div>

<div style="font-family:inherit;text-align:start;" dir="auto">Sorry for my absence, the best place really to get regular content is most definitely my social media mainly my Instagram page <a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.instagram.com/cherryleemewis/" target="_blank" data-link-type="url">here</a> and Facebook <a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.facebook.com/CherryLeeMewis/" target="_blank" data-link-type="url">here</a> and Twitter now and then <a class="no-pjax" href="https://twitter.com/CherryLeeMewis" target="_blank" data-link-type="url">here</a>. Hope everyone is well and make sure to catch me on selected dates with Think Floyd throughout 2023 on my gig page, and exciting news coming soon revealing who's new album i'll be featured on later this year!<br>Thanks as always for your support, it means even more now i'm not touring as I focus on being a stay at home mummy with my ever thriving daughter who is almost two! My guitarist Max also had a heart attack at the start of 2023. He is recovering remarkably however he is not on the road for obvious reasons which leaves me extra time to write and think about my next move. I say extra time, but I have a toddler so who am I kidding!</div>

<div style="font-family:inherit;text-align:start;" dir="auto">I don't think I've ever had as many heart to hearts with myself as I did in 2022; at times I've been all consumed with the never-ending plate-spinning, ball-juggling, split-in-two-wishing, non-scoreboard victories of motherhood and/vs career all while (hoping I'm) nourishing personal relationships while I'm at it and woah is it a trip.

<p>Stay safe everybody and we dearly hope to see you on the road in 2021. And now, a personal note from Cherry....</p>
<p>"2020 sounded so cool didn't it? 'Twenty twenty' but...Jeez!! A year like no other... I spent first 3 months of the year doing some theatre shows with the Floyd boys and the Johnny Cash Roadshow, my husband and I squeezed in a trip to Malaga, then it all changed...we didn't expect to be filling skips and rebuilding our garden fence for our honeymoon and spending 1239593485 days with each other 🤣 not to mention uprooting 641 tree roots, playing a few virtual gigs, lockdown performances with my band, and I turned into Cherry Claus at Christmas creating personalised Santa letters!! To say I'm missing travel and the stage is an understatement. .and a part of me is missing...BUT! 2020 was also the year one of my beautiful friends got married and another bought her first house, one's about to become a mummy and so is a cousin, and another just became one 🥰 So many beautiful blessings including just being content with the slower pace of life (ok, snail's pace compared to what we're used to 🤣) our house becoming like the set of 'Changing Rooms' with more makeovers and renovations, even a garden pub called Sling Yer Hook was built and lovingly filled with the yesteryear of pub trinkets and we finally released our live album Late Night Lock-In! We spent many a drunken bbq'd night with our smashin' neighbours and met a new whippety-wanderer-fox-lab walking buddy 🥰 Never been so thankful for treasured friends and family, our dog, not to mention health but I know on NYE I'll be raising a glass to those we've lost in 2020, still doesn't feel real that I'll never play a gig with Paul Piercy again or write a song with Maurice Kendrick. I could go on but I'm going to leave it on this note... Never did I think I'd ever go into a bank with a mask on to get money 🤣🤣</p>
<p>I wish you all health, happiness and love for 2021. Let's hope I don't have to postpone/cancel 9 months of work again! "<br> </p>

<p>With all their gigs and festivals cancelled/postponed for the foreseeable, Cherry found a way to collaborate with her band while they're all in isolation by putting together a totally raw and rustic live version of their song Western Star with all 5 of them in split screen mode and they enjoyed it so much and the response on social media has been so great, that they have decided to do one a week now which will be released onto Cherry's <a contents="YouTube" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.youtube.com/user/CherryMusic" target="_blank">YouTube</a> and <a contents="Facebook" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.facebook.com/CherryLeeMewis" target="_blank">Facebook</a> pages every Sunday!</p>

<p>Well you asked and we delivered! After many a request for Cherry to release a live album - here it is in all it's glory and suitably called <strong>Late Night Lock In</strong> as we're all on lockdown right now! But listening to music is very much allowed so order a copy, close your eyes and pretend you're at a Cherry gig and sing along to crowd favourites such as <em>Man Overboard, Come Back Home, Meet Me At The Station, Time Limits</em>, as well as Cherry's version of <em>Wade In The Water, All You Need</em> and much more! </p>
<p>Recorded over three separate performances from 2018 & 2019, this is an album you simply must add to your Cherry collection, the one album that truly captures that high energy CLM vibe, only experienced live. Recorded alongside Cherry's faithful band of <strong>Max Milligan, Robbie Stewart-Mathews, Nick Slater, Brian Greene</strong> and with special guest<strong> Lee Vernon</strong> on blues harp, this is a hotpot of bluesy soulfulness at it's best. </p>
<p><strong>Order TODAY</strong> on the <strong>BUY NOW</strong> button below, £11 includes CD album and postage. We understand in these tough and trying times, a lot of you will be out of work or living off a low income, so we have the option to <strong>donate</strong> what you can to receive an MP3 version of the album instead.

Of course health is the most valuable thing you can have but it's pretty tough when your income vanishes almost overnight. A word from Cherry -</p>

It looks like 2020 will be the most boring year yet with lots of exciting events and concerts cancelled or postponed but life <strong>will </strong>return to normal! It's the not knowing when I guess. I am gutted my shows have been postponed or cancelled and my income has totally disappeared overnight, just like my fellow musician friends, but I already have new dates for my Poland tour for November and we are still planning on releasing the live album and will post a link to purchase as soon as we can. Still in the dark about financial help for the self-employed, it really is miserable out there and seems like we're all in some living nightmare right now. In the meantime everyone stay safe, write, binge watch, get fresh air, listen to music, get pissed at home, facetime your friends and family, don't panic buy except for maybe my live album when it's ready!! And my band and I <strong>will</strong> be seeing you - hang in there peeps! Sending love and good health to you all, and as always there aren't enough thank you's to praise our phenomenal NHS staff, care workers, police, fire services, truckers, shop workers, everyone on the front line and it's heart-warming to see the acts of kindness going on amongst the selfishness that sadly gets press attention."</em></p>
<p>Please keep an eye on Cherry's tour page for rescheduled dates and we hope to see you somewhere down the road. Hang in there everyone! Cherry will be posting some live videos over the next few weeks as well as that all important live album pre-order link. In the meantime enjoy the photos below from Cherry's last few shows with <strong>Think Floyd</strong> over the last couple of weeks taken by Andy Powell -</p>

<p>2019 - the end of the 'teens' and it has proved to be a jam packed one for Cherry once again touring to 8 countries, lots of theatre shows up and down the UK and Ireland with Think Floyd and the Johnny Cash Roadshow, festivals in Spain and Poland inbetween renovating her first house and getting married in October! Hello Mrs Taylor! <br> "As ever I thank each and every one of you for your support this year and if you've been on the Cherry train for the last decade - since Southbound Train - then a MASSIVE THANK YOU for staying on for the duration!" says Cherry, "for coming to see my band and I perform, shows and festivals are planned for next year as well as a special live album announcement very soon. "I want to wish you all a very HAPPY NEW YEAR and may 2020 be full of happiness, health, music and love!" <br> Cherry's put together a collage below of some of her highlights and special moments of 2019 and make sure you follow her on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to get regular updates on what's happening in the world of CLM!

<p>The last three months have seen Cherry visiting Norway, Iceland, Denmark, Lithuania, Finland, and Russia as part of another jazz tour on the high seas, Poland for two blues festivals with Krissy Matthews (see previous news entry) and more recently, Orkney Isles for Orkney Blues Festival which was a welcome return for Cherry and her band after their last performance there was 9 years ago! It sure has been a whirlwind and throughout all this Cherry has been planning her upcoming wedding which takes place next month!</p>
<p>The end of August saw Cherry perform for the first time ever in a cave! A venue called The Devil's Arse in Castleton which sure was an experience and then this month also saw Cherry performing with her Johnny Cash Roadshow family as the role of June Carter where she had to play the autoharp on the song Wildwood Flower. There are talks this may be added to Cherry's set with her own band so stay tuned!</p>

<p>This past weekend saw Cherry make her debut performance in Poland at <strong>Lidzbark Jazzowe Festival</strong> on the Saturday and Poland's biggest blues festival;<strong> Suwalki Blues Festival</strong> on the Sunday alongside her good friend fellow blues artist, <strong>Krissy Matthews</strong>.</p>
<p>Not only did they wow the extremely appreciative Polish audiences but they were both presented with their very own engraved music note on the metal jazz tree that has jazz music playing 24/7 in Lidzbark.</p>
<p>Stay tuned for news on a Spring Polish tour coming up in 2020.</p>

<p>It was a swelterin' hot festival last weekend when Cherry rocked out with the Think Floyd boys at Plaza de Toros bullring in Estepona for the Pink Purple Zep Fest II in Spain.</p>
<p>"Definitely a first to perform in a bullring," says Cherry, "and no bulls were harmed during the making of this festival I can assure you!" Enjoy the pictures below and make sure you check the gig page out for more dates this year.</p>

<p>Lots has been going on in Cherry camp this month hence why we're only now getting round to posting about Cherry's <strong>Southbound Train 10 year anniversary show</strong> held earlier this month at Holy Moly's in Bedford Esquires. What a fantastic turn out and Cherry and her band performed the whole ST album in full which included a couple of tracks never actually played live before so it really was an exclusive of sorts. </p>
<p>Thanks to everyone for supporting and as ever thanks to Trev Earl for the great shots below. He never fails to capture the moment. For those of you that were hoping Southbound Train would be available on the night - it's still out of print and will remain so, best thing is to keep your eye on <a href="https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Cherry-Lee-Mewis-original-picture-framed/312187431158?hash=item48afd228f6:g:460AAOSwUANbR5lo&frcectupt=true" data-imported="1">eBay</a> or <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=cherry+lee+mewis&ref=nb_sb_noss_1" data-imported="1">Amazon</a> for physical copy!

<p>Well what happens when your two connecting flights from Oslo to Herøy get cancelled on the day with only hours to spare until you're due on stage? Too far to drive and train it. There's one thing for it and that was for a private plane to be sent! And that's not all. The plane took Cherry and her Johnny Cash Roadshow bandmates to Bodø only for a speedboat to meet them and take them the rest of the way! With an average speed of 48.5 knots for over two hours, the guys made it to the Midnight Sun Festival with only an hour delay so it was backstage and time to get ready for their 90 minute show!</p>
<p>Johnny Cash Roadshow ready for a two-hour and ten-minute rib ride with Kristian Olsen from Bodø to Herøy, with an average speed of 48.5 knots. Photo: Johnny Cash RoadshowBy Mariann VatnePublished: 02. July 2018, at. 9:14 p.m.When SAS canceled the plane from Oslo, Herøydagan had to hire private aircraft and transported the Johnny Cash artists in a rib boat from Bodø.SHARE"It would have been catastrophic for us if we had to cancel the show on Saturday," says resignation leader Britt Anne Karlsen about the situation that occurred on Saturday.Leased planesAt two o'clock in the day, Herøydagan was informed that SAS had canceled the plane that the members of the Johnny Cash Roadshow would take north. Instead, a bus from Gardermoen was set up, but that would not help Herøydagan's part.Thus, the job started to bring the musicians up another way. Knut Tangen at Løkta, which Herøydagan uses in connection with booking, eventually managed to get a private plane that could carry the musicians from Gardermoen to Bodø and received a guarantee from Marine Harvest's main sponsor of NOK 110,000 to book it.Took the boatThen the musicians had to be transported from Bodø to Herøy."We tried both private aircraft and helicopters, but it did not work. But then we also have another sponsor, Kristian Olsen, in Seløy Kystferie, and he took the ribs and went up to Bodø and picked them up.The seven men banded the instruments and sailed down the north coast with wind in the face. Two hours and ten minutes it took from Bodø to Herøy. New record."It went well," says Kristian Olsen, who held an average speed of 48.5 knots."There was a fresh breeze over Sjona and Rødøyfjorden, but the gang was very enthusiastic and thought it was very exciting, at least the first 1.5 hours. They began to look a bit tired of the Rødøyfjord, and they probably know it in their thighs today. I was most concerned about their guitars.Long pre-concertIn the meantime, the 500-600 crowded crowds in Herøyhallen had found their places, and were fine, even though the main attraction was somewhere else. Jonny Birger with friends had a small preview concert that was quite long, and the audience got to grips with it.Finally, the band arrived and started the show, which is only one of two played in Norway - one hour and ten minutes delayed, but to the great pleasure of the hall.- It was great atmosphere and good show! says Britt Anne Karlsen.Replacement?The unforeseen transport gives Herøydagan a very big extra bill."Now we have to look at whether we can seek compensation in any way. This is not an option when SAS sets up a bus from Gardermoen. To us had big consequences, she says.</p>

<p>It sure was a night to remember last Friday at Bedford Esquires for The Quireboys' Rock n Roll Fundraiser for Bedford's Rotary Club where lots of cash was raised by YOU so thank you all for packing the place out on a hot and sticky night!</p>
<p>Not only was Cherry performing with her band but she also joined her longtime buddies The Quireboys on stage for a couple of songs too on tracks from the Homewreckers & Heartbreakers album which coincidentally was released 10 years ago this year and Cherry is of course on bv duty on that very album.</p>
<p>Thanks to Simon Temperton for the band shot below and Rog Lett for the black and white shots. The roof sure was raised!</p>

<p>It certainly was a busy bank holiday weekend for Cherry as she visited Barnstaple's Queens Theatre Friday in Devon with Think Floyd, and performed at two festivals with her band at Lincoln's Beer Festival Saturday and Crick Boat Show yesterday where the heavens opened just before their second set of the day and the marquee became a mud bath pretty much! The thunder and lightning soon came - Cherry and her band certainly set things off with a bang! Enjoy the photos below thanks to Trev Earl and see you on the road over the summer!

<p>Well, well, well, is that another year over with already? 2017 really was a big one for Cherry in terms of travelling and singing her way around the world. She visited no less than 25 countries singing on her jazz tour as well as venturing into theatre shows too in between writing new music which will be released in 2018!</p>
<p>Says Cherry, <em>"I realise new music is a long time coming, it's almost four years since <strong>Catch My Drift</strong> came out which I can't believe! However i've been travelling the world - something i've always wanted to do and the opportunity was there so I grabbed it! Plus i've had some exciting and crazy experiences since the last album so more fodder for material. I'm excited to see what happens in 2018, I want to wish you all a very happy new year and thanks as always for your support."</em></p>
<p>Cherry's put together a collage below of some of her highlights in 2017 and make sure you follow her on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/cherryleemewis" data-imported="1">Facebook</a>, <a href="http://www.twitter.com/cherryleemewis" data-imported="1">Twitter</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/cherryleemewis" data-imported="1">Instagram</a> to get regular updates on what's happening in the world of Cherry Lee Mewis!

<p>A few weeks ago we announced that Cherry was to play one of the Sweet Sensations in the <strong>Vision Of Elvis</strong> production show touring theatres all over the country which included a flying visit over to Ontario, Canada where they performed in Bancroft's Ice Hockey Arena last weekend.</p>
<p>Says Cherry, "I'm loving this new opportunity that i've been given in this high energy show. Being an Elvis fan and of course being over to Memphis several times including trips to Graceland and Tupelo, Mississippi to Elvis's childhood home, really brings memories back of that wonderful place every time I hit the stage with the guys. The band are fantastic, three members of which I already knew and what's worked out as a lovely coincidence is I sing the <strong>Dan Penn/Spooner Oldham</strong> penned <strong>Sweet Inspiration</strong> in the show and I actually met Dan and hung out with him last year in Muscle Shoals, Alabama so it's an honour to sing his song!"</p>
<p>There's various dates throughout this year and the tour will carry on into 2018 too so take a look at the <a href="/tour-dates" data-imported="1" data-link-type="page">tour page</a> if this sounds like your bag if you're an Elvis fan and simply a lover of that fantastic musical era. There are a handful of shows with Cherry's band this year but as Cherry takes time out to pursue other musical projects, it won't be until 2018 now that Cherry will concentrate on her music full time with a planned release and tour.</p>
<p>Take a look at the photo collage below from Cherry's recent trip out to Canada and as always you can get daily updates on her <a href="http://www.twitter.com/cherryleemewis" data-imported="1">Twitter,</a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/cherryleemewis" data-imported="1">Instagram</a> and <a href="http://www.facebook.com/cherryleemewis" data-imported="1">Facebook</a> pages.</p>

<p>Lots been going on in the Cherry camp since she returned from her four month world tour, mainly Cherry getting settled back into home life, catching up with family and friends and not having much of a rest as May saw her performing with her band from a double headline show at The Stables with Dani Wilde to selling out Luton's Bear Jazz & Blues Club, to packed out theatres on three of Think Floyd's summer tour, and shows with Del Bromham and his Blues Devils too.</p>

<p>Cherry has just returned from her 6th trip to the USA spending time with her Mississippi musicians as well as travelling to areas she had been meaning to visit for some time including hippy Haight Ashbury in San Francisco, the natural wonders of Yosemite National Park, horse riding in Monument Valley and camping in Sedona, Arizona. She was invited to Alabama towards the end of her trip where she met up with Kelvin Holly, guitarist with Little Richard and Pegi Young (Neil Young's wife). Kelvin played with Cherry at the 2010 Howlin' Wolf Festival in West Point Mississippi and his wife owns the former <strong>Muscle Shoals Sound Studios</strong>, now known as Cypress Moon Studios, they're pictured below.</p>
<p>Cherry is set to record next year in Muscle Shoals, this time she was making new friends and contacts and soaking up the incredible history made in the one and only Muscle Shoals. She also got chance to go to <strong>Fame Studios</strong> and also to meet legendary songwriter <strong>Dan Penn</strong> who has had countless hits over the years including The Commitment's Dark End Of The Street and Aretha Franklin's Do Right Woman, Do Right Man. It was quite a day in Alabama!</p>

<p>Well nobody can accuse Cherry of taking a break since returning from her 7 week jazz tour overseas!</p>
<p>The past couple of weeks have seen Cherry and her band performing at <strong>Middle Of Nowhere Festival</strong> in Stafford, <strong>Broomstock Festival</strong> near Bedford and at relatively new venue, <strong>The Boat That Rocks</strong> on Portland Marina, Dorset, with special thanks to drummer Adrian Milford for stepping in last minute to play with Cherry at Portland when Cherry's drummer broke down on route to the venue! See pics below, and please get in touch to share any pics you've taken of Cherry on her <a href="http://www.facebook.com/cherryleemewis" data-imported="1">Facebook</a> and <a href="http://www.twitter.com/cherryleemewis" data-imported="1">Twitter</a> pages.</p>
<p>Cherry will be taking a trip to the US again later this month, but before then she'll be performing at dates with <strong>Think Floyd</strong> in Blackpool, <strong>Sun 31 July</strong> and <strong>Fri 12 August</strong>. You can grab tickets <a href="https://www.blackpoolgrand.co.uk/event/think-floyd/" data-imported="1">here.</a> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Not to mention Cherry's guest appearance with <strong>Del Bromham's Blues Devils</strong> <strong>THIS<br></strong><strong style="font-size: small;">Friday 5th August</strong> where they'll be headlining the Blues Stage, one not to miss!</p>

<p>Very happy new year to you all!</p>
<p>Lots has been going on over the last couple of months, while November saw Cherry - as well as shows with her own band - guesting with Del Bromham of Stray once again, she also was asked to sing Great Gig In The Sky with the UK's finest Pink Floyd tribute band; Think Floyd. (This meant a great deal to Cherry to be asked to sing that monster song and she received high praise), early December saw her taking off again on her travels on another jazz tour which she is almost halfway through. <br>So far Cherry has visited Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Canary Islands and some of the Caribbean Islands. She is currently in South America heading to North America then over to Norway, returning to Blighty April 6th.</p>
<p>Keep an eye on the tour page for 2016 dates, Cherry is likely to be out of the country for most of the year on more jazz projects so catch her in the UK while you can! There are some festivals over the summer confirmed too so we hope to catch you at one of those.</p>
<p>We also hope to capture jazz footage over the next few weeks to upload onto Cherry's YouTube page as well as on here so you can see exactly what she's up to!<br>Don't forget you can also get daily updates from Cherry's Facebook and Twitter pages, not forgetting her personal favourite, Instagram!</p>
<p>Enjoy the collage below of some of Cherry's travel photos from her current tour - more to be found on her Facebook page.</p>
<p>Here's to another fantastic year ahead and once again, thank you for all your support in 2015.</p>

<p>It's been 8 weeks already, Cherry is halfway through her 4 month jazz tour which up to this point has seen her tour around Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Estonia, Germany, Scotland, Ireland, Wales and currently in Iceland. Cherry will finish in the Med where she'll be heading to next month.</p>
<p>Says Cherry, "I'm having an amazing time touring around these incredible countries, most of which I've never been before and singing jazz every night is a welcome change for me. I am missing my band back home but I know they are busy preparing for my return and our upcoming gigs this winter and also gearing up for the release of our live album which is set to be out in February 2016. I'm constantly posting on my <a href="http://Www.facebook.com/cherryleemewis" data-imported="1">Facebook</a> and <a href="http://Www.twitter.com/cherryleemewis.com" data-imported="1">Twitter</a> pages, documenting my time on this jazz tour with lots of photos and soon to be footage as well so make sure you check both pages out! Seeing the Polar Ice Caps and glaciers at 5am were pretty special and spending time in Longyearbyen, Norway, the furthest north you can go with civilisation!</p>
<p>Don't you guys forget me back home! I'll be back gigging over there in no time, dates on the gig <a href="/tour-dates" data-imported="1" data-link-type="page">page</a> - can't wait to see you all!"</p>

<p>It sure was a night to remember - Friday 5 June 2015 - the night Cherry celebrated 10 years of musical collaboration with her co-writer, guitarist and MD <strong>Max Milligan</strong>! Enjoy the pics below thanks to Trev Earl and if you weren't there on the night, you simply must check out this fantastic video captured again by Trev of a song written by Max which was the bonus track on their Southbound Train album; Something You Can't Have. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/trev.earl.5/videos/888061757921686/?__mref=message_bubble" data-imported="1">You can watch it right here.</a></p>
<p>On the night they were joined by special musical guests; Lee Vernon on blues harp, Flo Flowers on double bass (while Robbie Stewart-Mathews recovers in hospital after stomach problems) and Rob Bond on pedal steel.</p>
<p>Message from Cherry:<br>"What can I say except a huge, giant THANK YOU to everyone for coming down to Bedford Esquires and celebrating mine and Max's 10 year music anniversary! Special thanks to Pete Burridge, Roger Allen, and to Lee Vernon for the awesome projector slide show and awesome blues harp, Mike Banner for the last minute projector! (And to everyone who tried to help me get one!!) Rob Bond for your stunning pedal steel playing, Nigel Hart and Richard Hammond for crystal clear sound & Derek Clark too, Flo Flowers guesting with us on double bass and doing a fine job while Robbie Stewart-Mathews recovers! As always, my amazing band, Brian Greene, Nick Slater, and of course, the one and only, Max Milligan!!!"</p>

Visiting Austin, Texas for the first time and being invited up on stage by <strong>Paul Oscher who </strong>was <strong>Muddy Waters'</strong> harmonica player for 5 years, guesting with some musician friends in <strong>Memphis</strong>, being chosen to sing at the famous <strong>Bluebird Cafe</strong> in <strong>Nashville</strong> on Songwriter night, and being an extra in the <strong>TV hit show Nashville</strong>! Not bad for five weeks!</h1>

<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/392510/adfbfc4dcd2d5b57b4c49bc397792dee09b29e80/original/drift-trial-thurs.jpg/!!/b%3AWyJyZXNpemU6NTAweDUwMCJd.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" height="500" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="500" /></p>
<p><em><strong>Cherry Lee Mewis has a story to tell. She has something to say, and she tells it through her music, her way.</strong></em><br>The 5ft-nothing, power-house singer songwriter has grabbed the musical bull by the horns, and together with her long time co-writer and guitarist Max Milligan, has produced her most personal album to date; <strong>Catch My Drift</strong> - an 11 track, hair-raising declaration of refreshing honesty. This album takes the teasing hint of vulnerability of 2012's <em>Heard It Here First</em>, and the quirky puns and energy-a-plenty vibe of last year's <em>Cherry Pickin' EP</em>, then pushes the boundaries even further, taking in the best of musical influences while still keeping that elusive Cherry Lee Mewis treatment that gives the record a real punch.</p>
<p><em>“Catch My Drift is the name of my new album because I really want people to connect with me and get just what i'm saying, hear my story. I really grew up on this record...just going through life's progressions,"</em> explains Cherry. <em>"The writing on this record has evolved from my previous recordings and fans will find a flavour of something different, I haven't changed too much but if this is the first record of mine that someone buys then it's a great album to learn more about me too."</em></p>
<p>With this new release Cherry has reinvented herself artistically yet stayed true to the classic Cherry Lee Mewis sound which is the 'stay true to who you are', good time, fist-pumping, barn-burning songs that her audiences have come to love.</p>
<p><em>"I try to write both lyrics and music of at least two or three songs on each record totally by myself, because I want to keep digging and finding that close connection to telling my story in my music, so i picked up my guitar and dug deep! Once again Max my co-writer and guitarist of 9 years totally helped bring my vision to life. In fact it's our vision and I feel so blessed to have him around me and great people like my band too, we're family."</em></p>
<p><em>"I've always been honest in my songwriting but with this album I feel i've really dug in deep and touched on subjects that people don’t usually talk about. First and foremost, I just wanted to write about things that I really knew about – subjects that hit close to home and I just took the time I needed to make this record. <strong>I know who I am musically and that is so important</strong>."</em></p>
<p><strong>CATCH MY DRIFT</strong> is available to pre-order now (link below) and you will receive an exclusive bonus track that isn't available anywhere else, as well as a signed copy of the new release before the album launch which will be held <strong>Friday 18th April </strong>at<strong> 8pm </strong>at<strong> Holy Moly's, Bedford Esquires, 60a Bromham Road, Bedford. </strong></p>

<p>Well it's that time of year again where we've done some reflecting here at Cherry Jam Camp and agreed that 2013 was indeed a great year for Cherry. From performing all over the UK again at many festivals, art centres and venues, to recording at <strong>Abbey Road</strong> with <strong>Bernie 'Whitesnake' Marsden</strong>. Performing at <strong>Silverstone British Grand Prix</strong> again in front of a 8,000 something strong crowd, to performing alongside <strong>Ronnie Wood </strong>and<strong> Van Morrison</strong> at BluesFest at the <strong>Royal Albert Hall.</strong> Releasing new EP <strong>Cherry Pickin'</strong> back in the summer, to many more positive magazine reviews and radio plays all around the world. 2013 has been on to remember!</p>
<p>Says Cherry, <em>"There have been many highlights of this year and as ever I continue to be thankful to have the best of the best on my team; my band who are truly at the top of their game and who are my musical family, another year with them is my highlight. I've also enjoyed working with Bernie Marsden again this year and guesting with Del Bromham of Stray too which has seen me open up for Mott The Hoople with him back in November. As ever, i'm genuinely excited to see what next year will bring. 2014 is already looking exciting. We've got a new album to put out and lots more cities to play in. I'll be returning to the US and performing with my Mississippi band too. As ever, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your support, whether coming to gigs, buying my CD's, emailing requests to national radio stations, thank you for it all! You've come this far with us, you may as well stay for the best is yet to come! <strong>Happy New Year everyone, let's make it another to remember!"</strong></em></p>
<p>What's left to say is thanks once again for all your support in 2013, we'll see you in 2014 and Cherry will be releasing her new album in the Spring. She's also on Bernie Marsden's new album Shine due out March 17th. As ever, check the gig dates to see where you can see Cherry and her band in 2014!</p>

<p>Well, they did it! Cherry and her band performed a blindin' set last week at the <strong>Royal Albert Hall</strong> part of <strong>BluesFest</strong> to a very appreciative audience that demanded two encores!<br>Cherry also got to meet and hang out with <strong>Mick Taylor</strong> and they got to witness Ronnie Wood's soundcheck in the main Hall which was going on minutes before they hit the stage themselves in the Cafe Consort.</p>
<p>Says Cherry, <em>"Wow what a day we had. We all had a total blast and i'd never been to the Albert Hall before so it was pretty special to finally get there and play there too! Not lying, would have loved to have jumped onto that main stage though! One day i'll get on it! Huge thanks to the guys at Live Nation and the BluesFest team for asking us to be a part of this growing festival. Huge thanks to our audience too who stayed with us right through to the end of our set. despite other performances going on. Onwards and upwards!"</em></p>

<p>It's fair to say that we're all very excited here at CherryJam camp about Cherry and the band's recent addition to the all star billing of <strong>BluesFest London</strong> which this year takes place at London’s iconic <strong>Royal Albert Hall</strong> from <strong>Tuesday 29 October – Friday 1 November.</strong> This is the first full-scale music festival of its kind to be hosted at the venue, with performances taking place not just in the main auditorium, but also in other spaces around the Hall during the daytime.</p>
<p>In the evening there will be two concerts each night, taking place in the early and late part of the evening in the main auditorium. Headliners include <strong>Robert Plant, Van Morrison, Bobby Womack, Tedeschi Trucks Band</strong> and <strong>Chris Rea</strong> amongst others. BluesFest will also celebrate the music of the recently departed legend, <strong>Bobby Bland</strong> - this promises to be an unforgettable evening with an all-star line-up on Friday Nov 1st which indeed includes Cherry on this date, performing at 3.45pm in the Cafe Consort.</p>
<p>For more info about BluesFest, visit the official site right <a href="http://www.bluesfest.co.uk/" data-imported="1">here.</a> We'll see you there!</p>

<p>We're excited to let you know that Cherry is featured in the very first issue of <strong>Classic Rock Presents Country Magazine</strong> which hits shops later this month but is available to pre-order now. Cherry has a half page feature on page 16 and <em>Sounds Like Heaven To Me</em>, taken from the new EP <strong>Cherry Pickin'</strong>, is on the covermount CD, and there's also a rather glowing review of Cherry Pickin' in the reviews section too.<br>Is this possibly where Cherry's new music is heading I hear you asking?! With a new album due out in 2014, could Cherry be the newest country blues star? You'll have to wait and see, for now, pick up a copy of the new magazine; it's jam packed with artists including Johnny Cash, Wanda Jackson & Sturgill Simpson to name a few. It will be available from WH Smith next week, or you can pre-order <a href="http://www.myfavouritemagazines.co.uk/music/classic-rock-presents-country-1/" data-imported="1">here.</a></p>

<p>Well it's been festivals and gigs galore over the scorching summer and we're delighted at Cherry Towers how well the new songs are going down with you lot and the new EP <strong>Cherry Pickin'</strong> has been selling very well indeed.</p>
<p>Cherry guested with <strong>Bernie Marsden</strong> when they headlined at <strong>Maryport Blues Festival</strong> a couple of weeks ago, pics below thanks to Tony Winfield. Cherry will be on tour with Bernie this November, dates are on the gig page, and is a guest artist on his new album due out next Spring.</p>
<p>Cherry and the band had a fantastic set last weekend at their fourth <strong>Cambridge Rock Festival </strong>appearance where they managed to fill the Stage 2 marquee at 11am Saturday morning! Lots of new faces to see them aswell and we've since heard that Cherry and the band gathered one of the biggest crowds over the whole weekend out of the 40 or so bands that played. Check out pictures and footage below thanks to Roger Allen and Neil McCarthy. The song in the video is <strong>Meet Me At The Station</strong> which is taken from the new EP <strong>Cherry Pickin'.</strong></p>

<p><br> Yes, we totally didn't expect to have yet another track from last year's <strong>Heard It Here First</strong> album, put forward by Bob & Norm's Blues Show on GTFM for <strong>Best Original Song</strong> at this year's <a href="http://www.britishbluesawards.com" data-imported="1">British Blues Awards</a> after having two nominated last year. The song in question is <strong>He Wants More. </strong><strong>Not all of the nominations for the other categories have been announced yet so keep an eye on the BBA website.</strong></p>
<p>Please help Cherry by voting to get her to the final voting stage, just like she did last year with her Man Overboard track. We'll keep you posted and thanks again! You can vote right <a href="http://www.britishbluesawards.co.uk/gtfm" data-imported="1">here.</a></p>

<p>Well it's been a bit quiet around here lately..or so it seems! Cherry and the boys have been taking a bit of a break, recharging the batteries and writing new material.<br> There are shows being added all the time to the <a href="http://www.cherryleemewis.com/gigs" data-imported="1">gig list</a> so be sure to keep an eye on that to see if they're coming to a town near you!<br> Says Cherry, <em>"after a rollercoaster year last year, our set is so tight and it's great to see many people singing along to our songs at gigs and festivals, but we can't keep playing the same set forever, nor would we want to! So time for some fresh material to treat you with and to challenge us again! I've always wanted a studio in my own house, now I have one thanks to a certain someone (who it actually belongs to!) and we shall have a snippet of a new song for you guys to hear very soon, within the next few weeks i'd say. Til then, come see us at a gig!"</em></p>
<p>Here's a snap Cherry posted to her Facebook page last night of her at home in the studio -</p>

<p><strong>Wow, where did 2012 go...?!</strong> <br><br> And just like that, it's the end of another year. 2012 proved to be a great year for Cherry and the band, from the release of their third studio album; <strong>Heard It Here First</strong> in February, to being the <strong>'Artist In Session' on Paul Jones' BBC Radio 2 show</strong> back in May, to successful appearances at over 9 festivals and Cherry being the guest artist on Bernie Marsden's summer tour. <br><br> <em>"This year really has been our best yet,"</em> says Cherry, <em>"infact every year has gotten bigger and better and 2012 will really stand out to me as being the year that we nailed our own sound, what with the release of the third album, there's nobody out there doing what we're doing and i'm proud of that. The guys in the band are all on fire, we're the tightest we've ever been and that's the result of the 5 years we've been playing together solidly. Onward and upwards! I can't wait to see what 2013 brings. I want to thank each and every one of you for your support - it really drives us and lets us know that we're doing something right! Stick with us though 'cause the best is yet to come!"</em> <br><br> Cherry and the boys will be taking a well earned rest throughout January and most of February to write new material. There are a couple of gigs at the end of January and into February so make sure you take a look at the gig page. This is a good time for them to add new material to the already tight-as-a-gnat's-backside's setlist!</p>

We'll of course keep you informed as to when it'll be available and in the meantime, if you could carry on emailing Paul Jones to carry on requesting Cherry's latest record at http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/shows/paul-jones/contact/ and also Jools Holland on BBC Radio 2 athttp://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/shows/jools-holland/contact/ while you're at it!

If anyone made it along to the gigs and has any pics or video footage, we'd love to see/hear!

Joe McElderry, who is a fundraiser for TCT joined the Random Band onstage, as did Clare Free and they all helped raise nearly £1000, so well done to everyone involved and special thanks to Philip Hargreaves for putting this event on.</p>

<p>Well, well, well! What a year 2011 was! From performing at some of the biggest blues festivals in the UK including the Great British R'n'B Festival, Maryport Blues Festival, Cropredy Convention, a return trip to Shetland Blues Festival, touring with <strong>Robin Trower, Mud Morganfield,</strong> a guest appearance onstage with <strong>Walter Trout</strong> at The Stables in Wavendon, to flying back out to <strong>Memphis</strong> to perform at <strong>BB King's on Beale Street</strong> and the <strong>Market St Festival in Columbus, Mississippi</strong> with her US band, Cherry had a year to shout about! <br>A great end to 2011 was being personally asked by <strong>Paul Jones</strong> to perform with the house band at his annual Christmas charity show at Cranleigh Arts Centre on 20th December! Paul also got up and played harmonica with Cherry on <em>'The Man Next Door'</em> which also had the fabulous <strong>Marcus Bonfanti</strong> join Cherry onstage too! See the pic below of Cherry backstage with Paul and <strong>Bernie Marsden</strong> from Whitesnake who also performed. Footage available to view here - http://youtu.be/2T6Ype281i0 thanks to Roger Allen.</p>

<p><br><em>"I want to say a humongous THANK YOU to you all for supporting me in 2011"</em> says Cherry, <em>"each year has got bigger and better and the feedback has been fantastic. It's been a jam-packed 2011 and i'm so ready for what 2012 has to offer me and the guys. We've got the new album coming out in February and i'm excited to see what response we get from it...it's our best work to date so I hope you all enjoy! Also want to say a BIG thank ya'll to my band - Max, Robbie, Nick and Flow who continue to inspire me everyday...we'll see you all in 2012! It's going to be a corker! HAPPY NEW YEAR YA'LL! Have a happy and healthy one..."</em><br><br>While Cherry and the boys finish off the album over the festive break, their next gig won't be until <strong>Sat 28th January</strong> where they'll be opening up the Jaks stage at the <strong>Skegness Rock 'n' Blues weekend</strong>. More details and tickets available here - http://www.bigweekends.com/your-break/73624 <br>The diary is already filling up for 2012 so be sure to check the gig page to see where Cherry will be next! <br><strong>All that's left to say is thank you again for your support and here's to 2012!</strong></p>
