Allow Me the Pleasure

Star-Struck Superman

2020 unveiled some deep rooted angst that I decided to put to music. I pulled from my industrial and blues influences and decided to dip my toe in electronic pool. Definitely a track to lace up your boots to.
Recorded in my home studio. All instruments  performed and digitized by yours truly.

Cheryl Lynn Tomblin aka PIPES was born in Ronceverte, WV but grew up in Maywood, IL. She began playing violin at 10 years and belonged to the Merit School of Music for four years until graduating and attending Carnegie Mellon University where she continued to develop her musical craft. At the age of 17 she picked up the guitar which propelled her into the arena that is musicianship.

Cheryl released her first EP "Allow Me the Pleasure"  under her moniker PIPES in 2012 and response and reviews of the album were extremely positive. The three song EP employs a minimalism that is both haunting and hypnotic, relying solely on the two instruments, guitar and vocal. The second PIPES EP "Those Ramblings on the Wall," released under Wire Recorders, was more produced as it included additional guitar (Dave Walker), Bass (Mike Krayniak) and Drums (Ryan Shepherd).  The full length album for "Mockingbird" is a long time coming. Cheryl decided to go under her songwriter name to take her music into a more personal space. This album, full of dark musings and contemplative desires, pulls from many of her influences such as Cassandra Wilson, Chris Cornell, John Lee Hooker and Jerry Cantrell. 

Cheryl's music and lyrics have been described as being dark and melancholy, holding the audience captivated by cyclic guitar riffs, poignant and smoky vocal undertones.
