Singer/songwriter Cheryl Wheeler, a force on the modern folk scene, will perform tonight at the Ramada Inn in Lewiston, courtesy of L/A Arts. Wheeler is part-poet who writes achingly honest songs of love and loss and part-comic, a radical trend defier and funny social critic. Described as fiercely everyday woman with a barbed-wire tongue, Wheeler always aims enough darts at herself to never seem sanctimonious. Her performance of song and laughter will begin at 7:30 p.m. Advance tickets are $23, $19 for students and seniors 60+. Tickets may be purchased over the phone with a credit card at 782-7228, or online at www.laarts.org.
