Coffee House Concerts at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Garden City will present national award-winning songwriter Cosy Sheridan in concert on Friday, October 6.

Cosy 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 Cedar House, audiences everywhere can get a taste of Cosy'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."

She 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.

TR Ritchie, an accomplished solo performer and songwriter will be accompanying Sheridan on bass.
