Friday, February 16

6:00 pm Alive After Five presents Cheryl Renée & Wendel Werner
It has been over 15 years since these two dynamic performers got together to put on one of the wildest shows in AA5 history. That was before Cheryl Renée moved to Cincinnati, and she was known as Knoxville’s most uppity Blueswoman, combining an acrobatically soulful voice with her prowess on the piano. Joining forces with Wendel Werner on organ and leading a stellar band, they created musical magic, and now, at last, for this one evening they are back together again. Fasten your seatbelts!
