Currently, with recent hits from her latest CD, "Roots Don't Lie", this jazz/blues celeb is one busy woman. Hollywood critic Jim DeCicco (of the Hollywood Music In Media Awards) called her latest recording: "A masterfully produced contemporary (Chicago) jazz/blues release that is fresh and vivid. World class performances and arrangements - a must for any true music lover's collection." Still enjoying some success from her previous jazz release, "INDIGO", featuring Cheryl along with guitar great, John Stowell, Juno winner Brad Turner on trumpet, Tom Colclough on sax, along with a host of musical phenoms; Cheryl is ready for whatever adventures may befall her; including unexpected tours to exotic locales. Downbeat critic, Bob Protzman said of Indigo: "In the seemingly eternal debate about who or what is or isn't a jazz singer, anybody with ears would without hesitation and with great enthusiasm cite Cheryl Hodge as the real thing." Hodge is the winner of the GRINDIE Award (RadioIndy.com). Both a blues and a jazz singer; Cheryl Hodge has been featured as an "emerging artist" of the month, on Coast to Coast AM Radio with George Noory.
