Dreamchild creates images for your ears. This is tone poetry with a sometimes sharp, modern edge: moody, aery & eerie - and often dark. These sounds, by voice & instrument, wash over you with an almost cinematic vividness, taking you to places known & unknown. Dreamchild plays a soundtrack to your dreams & nightmares.

Some Reviews of "Gates to the Sea":

"Deeply affecting. The ghost of Dead Can Dance is summoned up. Cheryl Wanner's keenings, laughter and odd intonations place her alongside Diamanda Galas as a vocal idiosyncratic. She is complimented perfectly by Frank Gerace's Frippian guitar. Intuitive music making of a high order." (MOJO MAGAZINE)

"Dreamchild is...occasionally exotic and darkly experimental. Wanner's vocals are the central aspect of the music, often powerful and raw with emotion. In addition to her talents as a singer, you'll also hear her growl, scream and laugh at points, dramatically enhancing the lyrics and music itself - without taking the music over the proverbial top... I don't even know who I'd compare them to for reference, but that should be considered a positive comment." (OUTBURN MAGAZINE)

"This kicks serious gothic ambient ass!...Imagine Gitane (Christian Death) meets Diamanda Galas meets Enya and you have Dreamchild in a Renaissance-Gothic nutshell." (BAST MAGAZINE)

"The dreamy duo of Dreamchild captivate with their melodic and rhythmic sounds, spinning dark, glittering web strings around the fog and darkness atmosphere of their music. (Cheryl's) voice is unique; it is heartbreakingly pure and dreamy and at the same time rich and strong..." (PERPETUAL NIGHTMARE MAGAZINE)

"David Torn sitting in with Dead Can Dance? Two songs from the band Dreamchild, a collaboration between guitarist Frank Gerace and vocalist/bassist/harpist Cheryl Wanner, give a hint of what such a pairing might sound like." (GUITAR PLAYER MAGAZINE)
