GRAMMY®-Nominated New Age artist Cheryl B. Engelhardt is the first person to create and complete an album on a cross-USA train. She journeyed from New York to Los Angeles and back via Amtrak earlier this year following the death of her best friend and collaborator Kevin Archambault.
Discover the deeper meaning behind what it means to go with the flow, trust the journey, release control, and become a master passenger.
As with all of Cheryl's music, The Passenger is designed to create the foundation for the listener to have an experience... not necessarily the same experience Cheryl had while producing the music, but their own experience of processing, healing, resting, or awakening.
Stay on track (see what I did there?) with "The Passenger"!
Cheryl hates spam and is NOT packing it on this trip. Which means she won't be sending any to you either. And this is not Hotel California: you can always leave.
