Great music and laughter coming to St. K's April 11th

 

St Kieran’s Arts
Center in Berlin will present the Cosy Sheridan folk  trio in concert Saturday
March 15.
Sheridan and her wryly insightful songs have been showcased
everywhere from Carnegie Hall to The Dr Demento Show. One of the pre-eminent
songwriters on the folk scene to document the lives of modern women, Sheridan
places the fast-paced culture of 21st century America into a mythic context with
insightful, energetic and at times comic effect. The Cornell Folksong Society
wrote: “Sheridan is frank, feisty, sublimely and devilishly funny. She fuses
myth with modern culture; Persephone with Botox.”
In her live CD on Waterbug Records, Live At CedarHouse, listeners can sample a taste of Sheridan’s live
performances and see why she’s been called “one of the era’s finest and most
thoughtful singer/songwriters” and why Acoustic Guitar Magazine wrote, "If I
were going to throw an all-girl dinner party at which I wanted to laugh and cry
from the hors d'oeuvres to the chocolate pudding, Cosy Sheridan is the first
woman I'd invite." Sheridan first appeared on the national folk scene in 1992
when she won the songwriting contests at the Kerrville Folk Festival and the
Telluride Bluegrass Festival, and released her critically acclaimed CD Quietly
Led on Waterbug Records. Folk Music Quarterly wrote: “When she’s accepting her
Grammy, we can say we knew her when.” Since then she’s released 5 more CDs,
and written a one-woman-show (and accompanying CD) entitled The Pomegranate Seed
– An Exploration of Appetite, Body-Image and Myth in Modern Culture.
She recently composed a song-cycle for best-selling author Robert Fulghum’s new book
Third Wish – which has been at the top of the bestseller list in the Czech
Republic since last year. Two of the songs from that project have been recorded
on her new live CD. Sheridan will be  accompanied by her longtime musical
partners, Kent Allyn on keyboards and guitar, and TR Ritchie on bass.
