Sunday, February 2, 2025 4 pm -- Cosy Sheridan
Cosy Sheridan has been called one of the era’s finest and most thoughtful
songwriters, and also ‘a buddhist monk trapped in the body of a singer-
songwriter’. A guitar student of instrumental luminaries Guy Van Duser and
Eric Schoenberg, and a voice student at The Berklee School of Music, she
brings a depth of experience to her craft. She plays a percussive bluesy guitar
style - often in open tunings and occasionally with two or more capos on the
guitar. She first caught the attention of national folk audiences in 1992 when
she won both the Kerrville Folk Festival's NewSong Award and The Telluride
Bluegrass Festival Troubadour Contest, and then released her critically
acclaimed CD Quietly Led on Waterbug Records. “She is a wonderfully lively,
very funny, and enormously amiable entertainer with a keen and wicked eye
for the excesses of our fast-food, tv-happy and noisome culture.” - The Boston
Globe.
