Artist Bio

Influences:   Anything that makes me laugh, cry, or feel anything....and my FAWMily!

This is my 14th FAWM!

Breakthrough long Covid got to me.
Having had a pre-existing heart issue, I got slammed. Long story short, my heart rate was so high for so long my heart was weakened to need a pacemaker. It takes a lickin but keeps on tickin. Nothing will keep me from FAWM
*Update: Since I couldn't conjure the energy to write any music, all of my songs were lyrics. I wrote lyrics to 5 songs and all were collaborations! Thank all of you for cheering me on and the wonderful best wishes. You really are my FAWMily

    Hey! Thank you sooooo much for your awesome comments on the Italian and French song! I was very happy to read them!

  • @oswlek Mar 2022

    Thank you so much for your generous comments on Together and Tiny Grass, Sherry. I really appreciate it. Judging by the quality of your output this FAWM, I may be hoping to borrow some of your words next year! :)

  • @iwilleatyou Mar 2022

    For sure another collab is due. 2023!

  • @winchperry  Mar 2022

    Dear dear Sherry, I'm sorry I can't comment on each individually, but I just listened to all your collaborations and this is an awesome catalogue. I really admire your ability to work with others to create these great songs! I find collaborating a real challenge, but I appreciate the value in it and I would like to do it more. The musicians who worked with you really captured the heart and groove of your lyrics. I hope you are feeling better soon. And thank you for your comments on my songs, too! I'm thrilled that you were able to participate in FAWM this year.

  • @jaegerin  Mar 2022

    Thanks for listening to my take on 'So Important'! I appreciate it!

  • @tinear  Mar 2022

    Email should be with you

  • @tinear  Mar 2022

    Hi Sherry
    The demo is now up. Not sure that's how you imagined it but it's what came through for me. Cheers

  • @roddy  Mar 2022

    I'm really pleased that you liked the music for 'If Ya Got it Use It. It's interesting that two people have commented on how the vocal sounds a bit like you singing. It was a real pleasure to work with your lyrics. Anyway, I hope you are on the road to recovery and feeling well.

  • @sheilerk  Mar 2022

    It would be really nice to get the chance to meet, even online. I hope it works out, if not this time, then soon! :)

  • @roddy  Feb 2022

    Here's your song - If Ya Got It Use It - hope you like it :)

  • @johnstaples  Feb 2022

    Hey Sherry! I hope you are recovering from all your health stuff! So cool that you were able to still FAWM with us!!! Take good care of yourself and let's do this again next year (and many year after that!)

  • @roddy  Feb 2022

    Re If ya got it use it. Thanks for asking me to do music. It would be a pleasure. As they say in the old time detective movies 'just give me 24 hours'

  • @donna  Feb 2022

    No problem at all, Sherry. (-: We can do 'Chain' later, maybe for the 50-90. ;) I hope you're feeling much better!

  • @jessicagraae  Feb 2022

    Thanks for your kind words on Jesus in a Thrift Store.

  • @katestantonsings  Feb 2022

    Thank you so much for your kind comment on Donna’s Licking the Light. It was a lovely collab to be part of :)

  • @klaus Feb 2022

    Hi Sherry. Sorry to hear about your situation. Hope you get better.

    Many thanks for your lovely comments, especially on Fall in Love Too Fast. @crisp1 did a great job on it and I, well, did my best. I'm not a guitarist at all but I do like to sing all those American Songbook jazz standards. Lately I've been singing "Too Marvelous for Words" and "Gone With the Wind". You can learn so much from those classic songs, songwriting, arrangements, singing, etc. Well, you know that better than anybody. :)

  • @tamsnumber4  Feb 2022

    Thanks so much Sherry, I really appreciate it. I just finished, so I am hoping to getting around and doing some listening. I will help you if you need me. Take care of yourself girl, you always inspire me!

  • @tamsnumber4  Feb 2022

    Hi Sherry! Thanks girl! I got your message! What did you need?

  • @crisp1  Feb 2022

    Thanks for your comments on "I Fall in Love Too Fast". @Klaus did a masterful job on that one. It puts a smile on my face every time I listen to it! Glad you enjoyed it, too!

  • @arthurrossi Feb 2022

    Hey Sherry! Thank you very much for your generous comment on "Good and bad girls"! I was very happy to read it...

  • @timfatchen  Feb 2022

    (Sherry, I've sent this to those who commented on the musical version) You commented on @sherrycanary's defiant "Will of the Heart" https://fawm.org/songs/132639/ earlier (thank you). We now have Sherry's voice on it and a slightly better piano. Whilst there are some production issues which I can't fix at this stage, it's definitely an improvement over me singing it (!), if you'd like to listen again, or download the fresher version.

  • @petemurphy  Feb 2022

    Hiya Sherry, so great that you've gotten some songs up. I'm running around at the moment, but I'll have a listen later. Love to you!

  • @jessicagraae  Feb 2022

    Thanks for your kind comments on my Take your man song!

  • @wolfkier Feb 2022

    Thanks Sherry, I have a list of 25 people I need to repay listens to and catch up on, and your track with Nadia is high on that list (and more of yours too). Please be patient, I've set myself a crazy production goal/ target to work to b4 fawm ends and march 1. Then I plan to take a deep breath and catch up with everyone... 5 days! :)

  • @jonmeta  Feb 2022

    Yes, real life has almost completely taken over this month. But I worked on "Nobody" this morning and hope to finish soon. It'll be rough, but that's the reality of this FAWM for me.

  • @musicsongwriter Feb 2022

    Thank you Sherry for your beautiful collaboration with me. I've just posted our demo: https://fawm.org/songs/128510/

  • @heavyhedonist Feb 2022

    Hello, gorgeous! I'll be back for a listen later.

  • @jonmeta  Feb 2022

    OK! In my head it's a swing blues.

  • @jonmeta  Feb 2022

    Hi Sherry. I've played around with a couple musical ideas to send you, but nothing has struck me as worthy yet. I like your "Nobody" and would like to give it a try. My time, and space to think deep musical thoughts, are limited, but hopefully inspiration will strike. Can't let this FAWM go by without a collab with you.

  • @donna  Feb 2022

    Hi Sherry. No problem. :) Did you get the adjusted line that I sent you?

  • @timfatchen  Feb 2022

    Hi Sherry, 1st try at "Will" now up. Sooo, you now have no option but full recovery because YOU are going to have to sing this one (must fix the extra bar that crept in the middle) and get the accent on WILL where it belongs!

  • @jessicagraae  Feb 2022

    Thanks for enjoying my lyrics-and for reminding me to look on the bright side of all this idiocy: lots of material for mining!

  • @musicsongwriter Feb 2022

    Hi Sherry, I've sent you my email. If you don't see it please check your spam folder, sometimes messages end up there.

  • @iwilleatyou Feb 2022

    Are...you.....being sarcastic with me?? I *do* have a sexy voice! Why else would the cops constantly show up at my house when I sing at the top of my lungs?

  • @musicsongwriter Feb 2022

    I've added you.

  • @musicsongwriter Feb 2022

    Hi Sherry, I'm very sorry to hear about your health issues. Thank you so much for listening to my jazz escape, for your kind offer and for purchasing it. Of course I'm always happy to collaborate with you. No worries about Valentine Snow, I've just uploaded it on youtube with my collaborator's video and it's okay as an instrumental. Please take care.
    Would you like me to add you?

  • @hoppiern  Feb 2022

    Hoping all is well with you today - sending you love!!

  • @barbara  Feb 2022

    Yaaayyy, Sherry!!! I’m so glad you have some energy today. Thanks for checking in. Looks like I missed your first song. I’ll fix that, and will hope your energy continues to build back up for more. So glad you’re on the mend. <3<3<3

  • @sunnymae  Feb 2022

    So glad to see you makin' some noise on the forums Sherry! At the very least, to soak in the love vibes coming your way from your FAWMily and if you're up for it in any small way, making a sound or two that honors where you're at right at this moment. Love you sis...:0)

  • @nadine Feb 2022

    Thanks a lot for your comment! Random collabs are fun :)

  • @donna  Feb 2022

    Sherry, I sent you a new email yesterday. Did you get it?

  • @donna  Feb 2022

    Sherry, I got the first couple of lines of the message. :) Weird about the blocking. I've never had that happen before.

  • @sunnymae  Feb 2022

    YOU.....you are just the best my song slingin' sistah! Any way you can hang out...there is good medicine for your heart and soul right here. Big hugs from the frosty Catskills. Love you Girl!

  • @timfatchen  Feb 2022

    You made it and you've got one up! Roll on!

  • @thetau  Feb 2022

    Hi Sherry, Happy to see you Here again. Lets make it happen... -Russ

  • @barbara  Jan 2022

    Wishing you a wonderful month, Sherry! I’m happy to see you here!

  • @jwhanberry  Jan 2022

    Have a fantastic FAWM my friend.

  • @zecoop  Jan 2022

    Get well soon Sherry!!! Your wonderful music is much needed!!

  • @jonmeta  Jan 2022

    Hi Sherry, I’m so happy to see you here again. 14, wow! Besides the amazing people you collab with, I’d be chuffed if I could do one with you too :) I hope your voice is back to 100% and if not, 50% is still pretty great.

  • @writeandwrong  Jan 2022

    Heya, Sherry You bring sparkle to a room! Sending continued well wishes and hope to have your sparkly presence here with us for FAWM 2022!
