Cosy Sheridan

Acoustic Guitar Magazine wrote: "If I were going to throw a dinner party at which I wanted to laugh and cry from the hors d'oevres to the chocolate pudding, Cosy Sheridan is the first woman I would invite."

Sheridan is one of the pre-eminent songwriters on the folk scene documenting 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. Who else would think to make botox injections the modern equivalent of the beauty cream of Persephone, Queen of the Underworld? Or to find a modern
Psyche reminiscing about Eros from a women's prison? 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. She has also earned a national reputation as a
songwriting teacher. She has been on the faculty at The Swannanoa Gathering in North Carolina, Summersongs in New York, the California Coast Music Camp and The Black Hills Songwriting Retreat in South Dakota. Come hear Cosy up close and personal in the Josephine Grey Parlor at the Lake Street Church.
