Cosy Sheridan with Kent Allyn & Charlie Koch
Friday, October 3rd at 7pm
The Kittery Art Association Gallery

The Cosy Sheridan Trio will be performing at the Kittery Art Association on Friday, October 3 at 7 pm.  Sheridan is a national award-winning songwriter. She first appeared on the national folk scene in 1992 when she won the songwriting contests at the Kerrville Folk Festival in Texas and the Telluride Bluegrass Festival in Colorado. One of the era’s finest and most thoughtful songwriters, The Albuquerque Journal called her “a buddhist monk in a 12 step program trapped in the body of a singer-songwriter.”

Sheridan has played everywhere from Carnegie Hall to the Cowgirl Hall of Fame as well as coffeehouses throughout the country. She began her musical career in the bars and clubs of the Portsmouth music scene in 1984.  She first started performing and recording with local Seacoast musical legend Kent Allyn in 1988.

She plays a percussive, bluesy guitar, often in open tunings and occasionally with two or more capos on the neck. Backed by the strong  rhythms and harmonies of Kent Allyn on keyboard and Charlie Koch on bass, her concerts are a wide-ranging, entertaining, and tuneful experience.  The Boston Globe dubbed her "A wonderfully lively, very funny, and enormously amiable entertainer.”

Tickets: $20
