- Sherrie played in the "Secrets of the
Heart" series at the
Saffire restaurant, located at The Factory in Franklin, TN on January
12, 2003. This show was an acoustic, in-the-round style
performance
that also featured co-writer, Will Rambeaux, as well as new and
developing artist/songwriter, Jace Everitt. Sherrie used the
small,
intimate audience setting to try out a number of new songs that she's
been working on, including: "Don't Let A Sleeping Dog Lie,"
"Ride'm
Cowgirl," "This Town Is That Small," "Fools Like
Us," and a really
awesome piece of writing called, "Streets Of Heaven."
She also
played a few old favorites, such as "Put Your Heart Into
It,"
Somethin' Missin' In The Kissin'," and "Lucky In Love."
In talking to her after the performance (so
this is straight
from the 'proverbial horse's mouth'), she said that she'd recently
signed to the new BBR label (whose roster also includes Chad Brock),
and is hoping to have a new CD (tentatively entitled "Ride'm
Cowgirl") out around March or April of this year in the States.
She
said they expected the first single to be "Streets Of
Heaven" (which
is a great choice, as it's a very touching, well-written, and
heart-wrenching kind of ballad.) Will Rambeaux also made mention
of
an effort to get Sherrie playing out more often, in these type of
"songwriter's night" settings, in anticipation of this new
release.
Hopefully, once this new release is out, she'll be back out on the
road promoting with full length concerts.

- Sherrie Austin recently performed at the Fitzgerald's Casino in
Tunica, Mississippi on September 14, 2002. With this casino's
theme
being "The Luck of the Irish," her show was a free event for
fans as
part of a special "Halfway to St. Patrick's Day"
celebration. Her
set consisted of all the traditional Sherrie Austin favorites, such as
"Lucky in
Love," "Jolene," and "Never Been Kissed."
- Sherrie is starting to do a few tour dates here and there, while
she gets set
up with her new management company. So, perhaps one of these
days
soon, she'll have more going on again. Her official website is
beginning to post some updates a little at a time, including a letter
from Sherrie to the fans, the link is just:

- Sherrie Austin played a lively 7-song set for Fan
Fair 2002, at the
Greased Lightning Riverfront Park Stages, on June 13th. Her song
list included recent hits such as "Jolene" and "Goin'
Goin' Gone"
...as well as older favorites, like "Never Been Kissed" and
"Lucky In
Love." She also did a red-hot version of one of her newer
crowd-pleasers; a cover version of the old Aretha Franklin tune,
"Son
Of A Preacherman." After her set, Sherrie greeted her
fans and
signed autographs by the backstage fence. Her other Fan Fair
events
for the festival include a public Q&A session at the historic
Ryman
Auditorium on June 13th, as well as a 2-hour Meet &
Greet/autograph
session at the Tower Records inside of the Nashville Convention
Center on June 16th.
- "In The Meantime"
- Sherrie has released "In The
Meantime" and it looks like it could make it in the airplay
charts (with a little bit luck) in
Germany. The only country music titles, I can think of, who made in
in the airplay charts in Germany within the last 12 month were Faith
Hill
"There You'll Be", LeAnn Rimes "Can't fight the
moonlight" and Lonestar's "Amazed".

- Excerpt from
"Country Music Live" magazine
- Sherrie Austin went to Nashville
with the dream of being a songwriter. Her first two albums
earned her artistic credibility as both a songwriter and a
performer. Now, with a new album on a new
label Austin displays her talents with a renewed energy and
focus.
- Followin' a feelin' Austin's
latest offering, and her first on WE Records, is the result of a year
of introspection and
- self- examination.
Austin probed the depth of her emotion to co-write nine of the 10
songs in the collection. The themes are familiar ones,
touching on life, love and broken hearts, but she gives them a unique
touch. What makes this CD truly special, though is Austin's
vocal versatility. She changes personas with the greatest of
ease, switching from contented companion to country siren to a woman
wronged. Producer Will Rambeaux wisely lets Austin's
considerable vocal gifts establish the mood in the
arrangements.

- Since leaving Arista Records, Sherrié Austin has been
"Followin' A Feelin'." Even though her previous two efforts Words
and
- Love In The Real World were great successes, she
had reached a crossroad where she felt she needed to regroup and
decide
- which fork in the road she wanted to follow.
Pursued by several major labels, she decided to partner with her
publisher
- Ree Guyer Buchanan to form WE Records a new Independent Label
in Nashville. At WE, Sherrié Austin has had the
opportunity
- this past year to immerse herself in her first love,
songwriting. As a result Followin' A Feelin' was
born.
- Through
Followin' A Feelin', you have the opportunity to hear the true
Sherrié Austin with nine of the ten songs on the CD flowing
from
- her pen. The
title cut
Followin' A Feelin' encapsulates her mind set the last
twelve months. "The verses in the title track
say
- exactly what was going on in my
head. You've got to
let stuff go, get over stuff, make new plans when the old ones don't
work out.
- Most of all you've
just got to follow your deepest feelings."
- Being on an
independent label has given Austin the freedom to create an amazingly
diverse CD. More traditional country than her
- first two
CD's, Somethin' Missin' in the Kissin', and Goin',
Goin', Gone will satisfy all the country purists out there while her
Aussie
- sassyness still
shines thru in In Our Own Sweet Time. There is really something for
everyone here. The first single released is her
- own version of Dolly Parton's hit Jolene.
Recently, Dolly Parton surprised Sherrié with a personal note
complementing her on
- her voice and the rewrite. "I was thrilled and so honored to receive such
a sweet letter from Dolly...Getting her blessing
- means the world to me!" video is currently playing on CMT and GAC, so be sure to
look for it. Sherrié Austin's growth as a talented
- songwriter and
artist continues. She demonstrates a wider vocal range here than in her
previous efforts along with a maturity that
- perhaps had been
suppressed by industry molds and the restrictions of being with a major
label. She has climbe outside the
- "Nashville
Box" and we finally hear the real Sherrié Austin, much to our
gain. Ree Guyer Buchanan of WE Records hit the nail on
- the head when she
said "People want
real...I've always believed in doing things differently; when everyone
is going right, I want
- to go left. " She has allowed
Sherrié Austin the artistic freedom to create and produce a CD that
allows Austin to let her creative
- talent shine though, rather than something produced to
fit a marketing mold. Sherrié Austin took the left fork at the
crossroad, and
- when you hear this CD, you will agree it was the RIGHT one to
take. Not only is she beautiful, and a brilliant songwriter/artist,
she has
- the guts to take chances, and step outside the box. Smart move
Sherrié, you have a winner here! Folks, if you want REAL,
this is it.
