Let me introduce you to the coolest kids on the Playground...
Chances are you'll see some of these kids at a Cher's Playground show. They're the talented ones. The ones the other kids envy. This Playground doesn't let just anyone in... Click the pic to link to their site.
Cher Goodchild (Cheristotle, Kirk) / vocals • vocals • vocals
We believe that Cher came into this world singing, and hasn’t stopped since. Her impressive vocals are so versatile that she can cover nearly anything well. With early influences from great blues artists like Big Mama Thornton and Koko Taylor, to more modern female rockers like Melissa Etheridge, Bonnie Raitt, Pat Benetar and Stevie Nicks… there’s no question that Cher can wail – all the while maintaining a quality that could melt a heart.
