Artist description Recording artist, poet, Bohemian, Sheryl Skye, is not your same old singer-songwriter. A blend of folk, rock and blues, Sheryl's original sound is addictive and healing. At first listen, "she hits you over the head with a ton of bricks and makes you grateful all the while." (Cdstreet.com) Without hype, Sheryl and her music are authentic...simple, yet multi-layered and stunningly familiar. Sometimes raw passion, sometimes a contained slow burn, it's Sheryl's live performance that truly unveils the essence of her work. Her primary instruments are a Parker Fly guitar and an HD-28 Martin acoustic. And to her audience's delight, when she reveals her classical background on her 1966 Martin classic, it's absolutely mesmerizing! With 10 successful independent years behind her, Sheryl has reached a new level of maturity as a songwriter, performer and recording artist. Her new CD, One Little Life, is available at www.sherylskye.com.

Press Reviews .. . bluesy, jazzy and slightly smokey, the sultry singer almost defies comparison . . . perhaps a mix of Diane Schuur and Dusty Springfield. (Indie-Music.com) Sheryl's voice . . . a growling sweetness that's so contradictory it's utterly engaging. (Rambles.net) Sheryl's music is contemporary and introspective, showcasing a strong voice and mature writing style. (Hunterdon Democrat) It's rather easy to be seduced by Sheryl's vocals. (The Morning Call) Fireflies is definitely radio material . . . catchy and well performed.(Rambles.net)
