CHERYL METRICK made her New York cabaret debut at Eighty Eight's for a one-night engagement, and from the way she took command of that stage you would swear she'd been here before. Whether it be Rodgers and Hart's "Where or When" in a slow waltz, or the pairing of "Somewhere" with "Somewhere Out There", everything was right in place and her body language, connecting with the audience, was first-rate. Her material was a mixture; Nat King Cole’s “Unforgettable” and “Nature Boy” waxed Metrick nostalgic, while “Smile” written by Charlie Chaplin was inspirational. Not to mention the beautiful “Rainbow Medley” with “Over the Rainbow”, “Rainbow Connection”, “Look to the Rainbow”, and “I’m Always Chasing Rainbows”. She was just as at home with the hilarious “Beethoven Chased by Rossini”, with lyrics by Garrison Keillor, sung as if she were a cat. She was in great company on the stage with FRANK OWENS on piano, CONRAD ADDERLY on bass, and PETER GRANT on drums. No doubt that she’ll be back - watch for CHERYL METRICK!

...IAJ has kept up with changing times. And reflect on those times they did, at a celebration at Five Towns College in Dix Hills that was punctuated by Jazz offerings by no less than pianist FRANK OWENS, horn player DAVID RANDALL, saxophonist TALIB KIBWE and vocalist CHERYL METRICK...Ms. Metrick, a Walt Whitman High School product and nationally touring talent, swung easily into a jazz groove as an appreciative audience of IAJ well-wishers listened.

“Austin’s Angels,” a spoof on “Charlie’s Angels,” “Austin Powers” and “The First Wives Club,” was filmed on Long Island with a substantial local cast. The movie is set for release in July.
Shot throughout Long Island, “Austin’s Angels” tells the story of three wives who believe their husbands, real estate moguls, are cheating on them with three women, considered the “angels” in the movie. Sal Rinella, 41, the film’s director, producer, writer and star of the show, said the process was great. “It was so nice,” he said, “taking this process from the script, to finding the people ... to the filming.
“The locations are fantastic,” Rinella said. The film takes viewers through Northport; Lloyds Neck, Huntington; East Quogue and Franklin Square, among other locations on Long Island. The movie also took place in parts of New Jersey, City Island and Staten Island. Filming for “Austin’s Angels” began in September and wrapped up in April.
“There are so many look-alikes in this film,” said Rinella, who played Austin Pacino, the private investigator hired to find out if the wives’ husbands were cheating. After the character Pacino is hired, Rinella said, that is when “all the misadventures begin.”
“It was a wacky film,” said CHERYL METRICK, who played an auctioneer during one of the scenes. “Everybody seemed to have a lot of fun.” A native of Long Island, the art auction scene was shot at Metrick’s estate in Lloyds Neck. Metrick has been acting for more than 20 years.
JUDY PRIANTI, another native of Long Island who has been acting for 18 years, played one of the wives in the movie and said everybody on set was “wonderful and easy to get along with,” adding that she loves comedic roles.
Rinella’s comedy has been influenced by older comedians, such as Abott and Costello, Laurel and Hardy and the Marx Brothers. Newer comedians have also influenced him, including Mike Myers, Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy.

A delightful compilation of meaningful songs performed with fluidity, frolic, gusto, and tender sentiment. I recommend it for driving, easy listening, romantic moments, beach sitting, background party music, and hey, why not doctor's offices? This way you can feel good while you don't feel good.

Classic romance for a modern world, April 2, 2007
Reviewer: SOLON TSANGARAS "The Bass Dude" (New Yawk)

I picked up this disc a while ago, and when I tell you it puts me in a mellow zone would be an understatement.

The voice and music blend beautifully, creating a smokey atmosphere that only a true live performance can give. Cheryl's aura transcends the boundaries of a c.d., it feels as if she's actually right there performing for you personally.

A must-have for any fan of this genre!

A BEAUTY SINGS THE STANDARDS, April 1, 2007
Reviewer: JEREE WADE "LADY LIFE COACH" (NEW JERSERY)

Cheryl Metrick knows her music. For those of us seasoned listeners...we are overjoyed to hear a singer sing the correct melody and lyrics while at the same time adding her individual style. With the class of a Shirley Bassey, Cherl sings with joy and sincerity in her lovely voice... and you know this is a singer who understands the musical nuances and the message of a song. Along with the extraordinary Frank Owens, her arranger and musical director, this CD is a keeper. I look forward to Cheryl taking the stage again soon because I know she will take her performance and music to a new plateau, one in which we do not hear enough of in this day and time. She has many fans and I am one of her biggest and we are all waiting for the next live performance and new CD.
