Cosy Sheridan has been called one of the era’s finest and most thoughtful singer/songwriters. She 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, she 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, “she fuses Persephone with Botox; she is frank, feisty and sublimely, devilishly funny.”
She first appeared on the national songwriter scene in 1992 when she won both the Kerrville, Newfolk and Telluride Troubadour award and released her critically acclaimed cd, "Quietly Led. Since then she has released 6 more cds and written a one woman-show, “The Pomegranate Seed”.
In her live CD on Waterbug Records, Live At CedarHouse, listeners can sample a taste of Sheridan’s live performances and see why The Boston Globe called her "a wonderfully lively, enormously amiable entertainer, with a keen and wicked eye for the excesses of our fast-food, tv-happy and noisome culture."
