About Me:
The group that would eventually become the Cheese Lords first met in 1996, when Clifton "Skip" West III invited a group of friends over for a savory gourmet meal in exchange for singing The Lamentations of Jeremiah by Thomas Tallis. The combination of song, friendship, and Skip's cooking soon became a regular event. To this day the Cheese Lords continue to have dinner together before their regular rehearsals.
The Suspicious Cheese Lords' unconventional name is derived from the title of a Tallis motet, Suscipe quaeso Domine. In a playful translation of the title, it was observed that Suscipe could mean "suspicious," quaeso resembles the Spanish word queso meaning "cheese," and Domine is, of course, "Lord." Hence, the title of the motet was clearly "Suspicious Cheese Lord" -- which in time became adopted as the group's name. Although their name is humorous, the group appreciates the more accepted translation of Suscipe quaeso Domine, which is, "Take, I ask Lord." Suspiciously, the Cheese Lords have yet to perform this motet.
The Cheese Lords have released three critically-acclaimed, world premiere CDs, all of which are available at their concerts and online at Amazon, CD Baby, and iTunes.
