Don’t forget to join us tonight for the wonderfully talented Cosy Sheridan, who will be accompanied by her partner, fellow songwriter and bassist T.R. Ritchie. Cosy and TR will take the stage at the AUUF at 7:30; admission is just $10, $8 for students, and free for children 12 and under. We’ll have free coffee, tea, water and food, and as always you are invited to bring whatever food or beverage you prefer. Bring a friend as well, especially if they like great music, and like to laugh; Cosy will deliver.
To get a glimpse of what Cosy will be sharing with us tonight, tune in to Wildman Steve Radio at 3:00; just go to www.wildmansteve.com. And be sure to check out the interview Cosy did with OffBeatAuburn; just go to www.offbeatauburn.com anytime.
Here are a few comments from music critics around the country:
CATIE CURTIS
“Somewhere in the uncharted territory of Mary-Chapin Carpenter, Dr. Ruth, and Deepak Chopra is you at a Cosy Sheridan concert – laughing and crying, laughing and crying. Go there.”
ALBUM NETWORK
Sheridan remains the unapologetic voice of our conscience.
BOSTON GLOBE
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
“She is now being recognized as one of the best new singer-songwriters in the United States.”
FOLK MUSIC QUARTERLY
“When she’s accepting her Grammy we can say we knew her when.”
JANIS IAN
“It’s always a pleasure to meet another fabulously gifted female performer.”
DAN STORPER; President / Putumayo Records
“Cosy Sheridan has a unique talent for combining fascinating stories with a beautiful voice.”
THE BOSTON HERALD
“She surprises in understated ways…”
ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL
“A Buddhist monk in a twelve-step program trapped in the body of a singer-songwriter.”
CMJ
“With her pointed lyrics and engaging style, Sheridan recalls Cheryl Wheeler or Mary-Chapin Carpenter –dead serious one moment, slyly grinning the next.”
DIRTY LINEN
“(Sheridan’s) tender/tough voice, lively acoustic guitar playing, and brassy vulnerability are a disarming combination.”
Again, that’s tonight at 7:30 at the AUUF. Just $10, $8 for students, and free for children 12 and under. (There are hundreds of venues like Sundilla around the country; you won’t find one with lower prices.) And check out Cosy’s performance on www.wildmansteve.com at 3:00, and on www.offbeatauburn.com anytime. For even more information about Cosy, and Sundilla, go to www.sundilla.org.
