Sheri Bauer-Mayorga is a pianist, vocalist, songwriter, and recording artist who has worked the underground, alternative, and grassroot scenes!
A champion of American music, her career began in NYC playing contemporary American piano repertoire(Morton Feldman, John Cage, Doris Hays, Henry Cowell). Heralding from a "sing-around-the piano" family, Sheri developed a passion for American song early on and eventually turned her focus to singing and composing. Today she performs an eclectic American repertoire from traditional song and jazz to songs by contemporary classical composers. In 2004 she completed her first recording with TownHall Records, "On The Wrong Side Of The Railroad Tracks," and another followed in 2007, "American Snapshots: 200 Years of American Song." Then there is singing at those necessary rallies, summers spentsharing traditional folk repertoire with children, and scat singing with Lincoln Mayorga and the Berkshire Bop Society. Sheri is director and founder of the Columbia County Children's Vocal Ensemble.
