More info about Sherie and her music

Sherie Davis, singer-songwriter, released her first album, My Heart Returns To Me, in November 2021, and it is a substantial work of uplifting, heartening, and inspiring songs that explore life’s deepest questions.  Sherie went on to release her 2nd album, The Raven and The Moon, in September 2025 which included a compilation of mystical, political, and contemplative songs as well.  Sherie is known for her soaring melodies that range from angelic high notes that dip down to satisfyingly earthy low tones.  Her flute playing supports her vocal with an other-worldly purity.  Sherie’s socially conscious lyrics explore thought provoking topics such as life after death, hard life lessons, and living in our challenging world of unprecedented events.  Her music has been described simply as light-filled folk rock for a hardened world.  In addition to her own vocals, rhythm guitar, and flute, Sherie brought together a lineup of talented musicians on both albums including Jesse Rhodes, multi-instrumentalist, recording engineer, and co-producer, and Mark Alciati, mandolin and lead guitar player, as well as many other talented musicians and friends including Austin Beede, Mary Madden, Marilyn Meyer, Jena Douglas, and Ted Rhodes.  The combined efforts of these skillful musicians created a sound that landed the first album, My Heart Returns To Me, at #13 on the FAI Folk Chart for folk radio in January 2023 and Sherie, as an artist, at #21 on the same chart also in January 2023.  Sherie's 2nd album, The Raven and The Moon, was #40 on the FAI Folk Chart in October 2025, and her song, December Sky, on her 2nd album was #17 on the FAI Folk Chart in December 2025.

Sherie grew up just outside of Boston, Massachusetts where her musical influences were the Indigo Girls, Sheryl Crow, Patty Griffin, James Taylor, Martin Sexton, and Bonnie Raitt.  The result is that her albums are a mix of folk rock, heartfelt soul searching lyrics, and a touch of the cosmic with flute and marktree chimes.  Sherie started taking guitar lessons at the early age of 10 and was encouraged to play guitar right handed even though she’s a lefty because, “you want to be able to borrow other people’s guitars.”   They were right.  Sherie also took many years of ‘boring’ flute lessons as a kid. 

Sherie Davis performs on the Central Coast of California at wineries, art galleries, and other venues.  She has performed as a duo with her husband.  She participates regularly in songwriting workshops, classes, and retreats to continuously perfect her songwriting craft including Pacific Songwriting Camp, Brett Perkins’ Listening Room Songwriting Retreats, and Craig Carothers’ songwriting classes, and Sherie is a member of Women of Song, a songwriting group of 8 women songwriters that has been meeting every month since 2015.  Sherie is currently working on new songs because it’s just so satisfying and fun!  Finally, Sherie released lyric videos ranging from powerful to funny with the help of a wide assortment of talented graphic artists for some of the songs on both albums which you can find on her Youtube channel and here on her website.  You can find a few videos of her live performances from both album release shows on her website here and on her Youtube channel.  Sherie’s music can also be found on Facebook, Instagram, and all the streaming platforms.
