Cosy 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. Since then, her wryly insightful songs have been showcased everywhere from Carnegie Hall to The Dr Demento Show. Today, she is one of the pre-eminent songwriters on the folk scene documenting the lives of modern women. She places the fast-paced culture of twenty-first century America into a mythic context with insightful, energetic and at times comic effect. Hear Cosy Sheridan live and see why she has been called one of the era’s finest and most thoughtful singer-songwriters!

House concerts are a great way to hear live music in the intimate setting of a living room. Not only do you sit just feet away from the performers, but you have a chance to visit with them before and after the concert, to buy CDs, to socialize with old friends, and to make new ones.
