Thank you everyone for coming out and joining me and the band (Sherry Austin, Lisa Burns, Jim Norris, Steve Perez, Charlie Wallace and special guests Ginny Mitchell, Jim Lewin, Jerry Bradley, Kimba Perez and Cash Bradley Paul Ebright) November 15 at Don Quixote's in Felton. Because of you, the house was full and the spirit was high. All of you get a big hug from me~ Thank you friends for the support.
Opening the show was Jay Lingo, local Americana singer/songwriter and he rocked the place! Check him out on www.myspace.com/jasonlingo.

BRAND NEW NEWS!!!!
7.3.09
My new "Along the Way" CD was released June 26th...
It's been a long time coming and I'm proud of all the friends
that supported this project. We had alot of fun in the studio these
past seven months. Lots of local talent including Sherry Austin,
Lisa Burns, Jim Norris, Ginny Mitchell, Mary McCaslin, Keith Greeninger,
Jim Lewin, Yuji Tojo, Charlie Wallace, Bob Brozman, Steve Perez,
Barry Phillips, Chojo Jacques, Jerry Bradley and Jesse Autumn. Thank you
again to the musicians!
I had a great team of engineers (Dave Gordon and Dave Nielson) and an
amazing producer, Jim Norris. We worked side-by-side throughout the entire
process and at the end of day would share stories of days gone by and how we
survived being involved in music all these years and could still find some good humor
in this crazy business.
SONGS....
This collection of songs on the CD has seven originals and five songs from
writers that capture my heart. The first song written some 15 years ago is "Jarrod's Song".
I wrote this when my son was in middle school and there was
news escalating about violence in schools. This was prior to the tragedy
of Columbine not knowing something that horrific could ever come to be.
This song is a prayer for me and came from a place I can't explain. It's the
only song that revealed itself in a matter of minutes from start to finish.
I will be back to tell you more stories....We've been hardworking at getting
this site up and launched and wanted to have it ready for you so stay tuned...

My bio page will be arriving soon. Hang in there.........
KATE WOLF FESTIVAL
The Sherry Austin Band played on Saturday and Sunday at the Kate Wolf Festival. What a line-up
with all my favorite female singer/songwriters Shawn Colvin, Patty Griffin and Emmylou Harris along
with Buddy Miller.
Everyone was most generous and accommodating (lots of transports on the quad from my
campsite across the way - thank you guys!) Thank you Cloud and the team of organizers...
Thanks to the folks that came to the main stage in the heat of the day to listen to the
Kate Wolf set. Everyone knew all the words and we blessed Kate for her beautiful music.
She was certainly there...
Sunday took us to the Revival Tent where we closed with a set of Sherry and Sharon songs.
Lots of friends came to sit on bales of hay under the tent hung with tapestries and woven rugs
all around. It was a wonderful way to end the festival for us.
We headed back over to see the amazing Mavis Staples, Richard Thompson and Emmylou Harris.
So much music and friends and food and sun and the river and dust....You put it all together and drive home with all the memories and a smile.....
Sharon Allen is way up high in the list of sweet voiced singers. If you want to sit back and listen to some unpretentious music that is beautiful and lasting this is it........Sleepy John Sandidge
