At age eight, Sherrie’s father placed his guitar in her lap and taught her the basics.  From there she became an active part of a family of singers and musicians harmonizing with her mother and sisters. She performed with her parents and sisters at weddings, churches, and fairs. 

As a singer/songwriter, stay-at-home mom she has been through the joys and difficulties of marriage, motherhood, mortgages, and life in general, she uses these experiences as inspiration for many of her songs.
The songs on her CD, Songs from my sofa, are written from Sherrie’s personal life experiences. Sherrie has a distinctive alto voice that flavors her range from contemporary adult to contemporary country music. Her songs are for people who can relate to the longing for love, finding love, losing love, making love, and even a Mother’s Love. She has some very fun songs too, like “Better Day”, and “Happy”.  In fact, "Better Day" is a song that many of us can relate to with the struggle to just survive financially and all the things that can go wrong in any given day . . . tomorrows got to be a Better Day!”

Sherrie is passionate and spontaneous, yet grounded by life’s gritty experiences. Her gift is her music. Her sound is a little country – contemporary – female ballad. Her voice delivers passion from soft and sensual to hurtin’ and furious. 100% female! Some say her sound is reminiscent of Patsy Cline crossed with KD Lang and Connie Kaldor and maybe even a bit of Loreena McKennitt and Allison Krause in some songs.  Sherrie loves the stage. She sang with the likes of Ronnie King of the Calgary Stampeders Band, and on another occasion she sang with the late, great Jeff Healy and he said “Wow! She can sing!”
