Cosy Sheridan’s songs have been played everywhere from Carnegie Hall to the Dr Demento Show. Captivating and often hilarious stories, masterful guitar work and superbly crafted songs --Cosy Sheridan gives one of the most entertaining and intelligent concert performances on the folk circuit. She weaves children’s stories into Buddhist-like koans: Harold and his Purple Crayon meets Ferdinand the Bull. She describes a modern Persephone who falls in love with a biker named Hades. Ants that sew a heart back together; Hannibal crossing the Alps. Sheridan's storytelling is an intricate part of her concerts. She places the fast-paced life of 21st century America into a timeless, mythic context and we are spell-bound.

Cosy teaches songwriting at workshops and camps across the country, has released 8 CD’s, 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 selling wildly in Europe since last year and will be released this winter in the United States.

Cosy Sheridan will perform with her partner and bass player TR Ritchie. TR brings us thoughtful and inventive songs with uncanny observations and juxtapositions and a poet’s love of language. When he and Cosy share the stage there is magic and a lot of laughter. Don’t miss this show!
