ARTIST SPOTLIGHT Cherie Brennan !Sponsored by: Stanley Music Group Current Single: !“Life Is Fun” Hometown: !Jacksonville, FL Mini Bio: Singer/songwriter Cherie Brennan brings a fresh new sound to country music. She started out as a pop singer but gradually her beautiful voice, inspirational lyrics and her love of storytelling found her true home in country music. When not performing around the country, Cherie loves to spend lots of time in the studio working on new music. “There is nothing like being inspired to write a song, have it come together, say the things you hoped it would say, have a wonderful engineer, musician and co-producer like I have in Daryl Phenneger, to bring it all together, and then just stand back, and give God the glory. It doesn't get any better than !that.” Interesting Facts: Cherie is an accomplished pianist and performs her own music on keyboard in her shows and on Sundays in her church in Jacksonville. Cherie has had great success in Inspirational Country Radio, having ive consecutive charting singles on the Power Source Inspirational Country Charts, including “You Be The Light,” “The Present,” “911,” “Precious One”(her irst No. 1 single in December 2015) and her new single, “Life Is Fun,” which charted on country as well. Cherie is also the proud mama of Nick Brennan, a talented new country artist who just released his debut single,“Buck Naked.” !
