We are thrilled to welcome Cosy & T.R. to our winery this spring as we start up our 2008 Music in the Vines Series!

Sheridan and her wryly insightful songs have been showcased everywhere from Carnegie Hall to The Dr Demento Show. In her new CD on Waterbug Records, Live At CedarHouse, listeners can sample a taste of Sheridan’s live performances and see why she’s been called “one of the era’s finest and most thoughtful singer/songwriters” and why Acoustic Guitar Magazine wrote, "If I were going to throw an all-girl dinner party at which I wanted to laugh and cry from the hors d'oeuvres to the chocolate pudding, Cosy Sheridan is the first woman I'd invite."

Sheridan is 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. 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. Folk Music Quarterly wrote: “When she’s accepting her Grammy, we can say we knew her when.”

Since then she’s released 5 more CDs, 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 at the top of the bestseller list in the Czech Republic since last year. Two of the songs from that project have been recorded on her new live CD.

Sheridan will be accompanied on bass and harmonies by fellow songwriter, TR Ritchie – and they will also be including some of his songs into the concert.
