A long-time veteran of the folk music scene, Cosy Sheridan found her first guitar at nine years old in an old cardboard case in her parents’ house.  Before long, Sheridan, born in Concord, New Hampshire, was performing in open-mike nights up the road in Exeter, where she was attending Phillips Exeter Academy.  After dropping out of Amherst College midway through her freshman year, Sheridan moved to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and began honing her craft on the New England folk circuit, playing up and down the Maine and New Hampshire coasts.  “Living in Portsmouth in the ‘80s and early ‘90s was like going to folk-college,” she says.

In 1990, she released “Quietly Led,” followed by “Late Bloomer” in 1992, both of which earned her widespread critical praise and garnered her a loyal fan following.  In 1994, looking to get away from the noise of the northeast and “see what I could hear within,” Sheridan moved to Moab, Utah, from where she has released a string of albums that have demonstrated her range and depth as a guitar player, singer and songwriter.  Her most recent offering, “The Pomegranate Seed,” is the soundtrack to her one-woman show of the same name that examines issues of body image, eating disorders and appetite in modern culture.
