Personal Statement: National awarding-winning songwriter Cosy Sheridan and her wryly insightful songs have been showcased everywhere from Carnegie Hall to "The Dr Demento Show"; from The Jerry Lewis Muscular Dystrophy Telethon to NPR's 'Car Talk'.

Her live performances move seamlessly from satirical cultural observations to emotional explorations of family relationships, all with a mastery of pacing and sophisticated guitar work.

Current Work
Cosy Sheridan is available for performances in concerts, coffee houses and house concerts. She also offers song-writing workshop, CD's for sale, and performances of her one-woman show, "The Pomegranate Seed."

THE POMEGRANATE SEED
"The Pomegranate Seed" is Sheridan's one-woman show of songs and vignettes. This two-act narrative chronicles one woman's spiritual journey into the symbolic underworld and her emergence as a more vibrant and more compassionate person.

Short Bio
Cosy Sheridan was a voice student at The Berklee School of Music in the late 1980's, and also a guitar student of the master fingerstyle guitarists Guy Van Duser and Eric Schoenberg.

Her friend Catie Curtis has called her a combination of Mary Chapin Carpenter, Dr. Ruth and Deepak Chopra. National Fingerpicking Champion Harvey Reid called her a musical sponge.

She travels with her yoga mat but without her gallbladder. She's candid. She's compassionate. She's very sharp. She'll talk about anything on stage. She might sing songs about body piercing, a more user-friendly Barbie Doll, the loneliness of her elderly neighbor, or how small and humble things in life, like ants, can sew your heart back together. She can bring tears to your eyes, from sadness or from laughter.

Her favorite quote from an audience member?
"You're so real!"
Honors
Cosy has garnered top honors from: The Kerrville Folk Festival's NewFolk Award, The Telluride Bluegrass Festival's Troubador Award, and the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival Songwriting Showcase Award.
