Harp Almanac: Fred Schlomka, Editor-in-Chief 

"I listen to hundreds of harp albums each year. Many of the artists claim they have done something 'different' with their harp music, but you really have. I haven't heard anything quite like this. It's quite an achievement."



Recording Previews: Peter Hendrickson
"This seasoned jazz musician presents us with a recording of original musician a contemporary groove,with a tight ensemble of harp, flute, saxophone, keyboards, bass and percussion. The smooth jazz sound is polished and inspired, ... successfully crossing from jazz to New Age ...'Kinetic' follows the success of her first CD, 'Pregnant Pause', which won [two national awards]...The improvisation is spirited and spontaneous with a balanced interplay between instruments giving us an album that is upbeat and uplifting."


NAV: Mike Moore
" ['Kinetic'] is a smooth jazz album that is sexy, sensual and perfect for an evening of romance...this recording should find lots of fans in people who like contemporary jazz that is different that everything that is out there. Only a few jazz artists play the harp, and fewer play it well. Cheryl is part of that latter group..."


WADK, Newport: Lee Wedel, Program Director
"Who knew the harp could be so alluring and intriguing? Cheryl Gallagher has convinced me that the harp is no longer limited to the patterns of music past. I can't wait to add this album to all my programming. 'Kinetic' is a fantastic album."


Texas Monthly Magazine: Jordan Mackay, staff writer
"Excellent production quality, very professional... In it's market, this album should do really well."


KUT, Austin: Larry Monroe
(veteran radio host, "Segways", "Blue Monday")
 
"I like it... Really good quality...
I especially like "Blue Eyes" for the
overall composition and the interplay
between harp and flute."


Leading Edge Review : Sheila Grams
"Brought into the mellow grooves and deep rhythms of smooth jazz, Gallagher proves that the concert harp can hold its own..."


Bep's Antiques, New Orleans: Erik de Jonge  
"This is my smooth jazz pick of the month. Cheryl has accomplished the blending of her harp and smooth jazz into one of the most romantic releases I've heard in some time. Share this music with someone very special. The only other harpist to reach this level is Roverto Perera, buy this and I promise you will enjoy it for many years."

Gracie G Records is delighted to present "KINETIC", a remarkable new album by award winning artist Cheryl Gallagher. A dramatic follow-up to her successful debut release "Pregnant Pause". Kinetic takes her music to the next level as Cheryl combines fresh sound and sensual groove with the elegant style that is her forte. It is currently chartbound on national radio airplay charts, and has received many rave reviews, some of which I've highlighted below.
