Singer, pianist and guitarist, born Sheryl Suzanne Crow, on February 11, 1962, in Kennett, Missouri. Sheryl began playing piano at age six. She graduated from Kennett High School in 1980 and the University of Missouri at Columbia in 1984, where she majored in music education. During college, she spent her weekends performing with a local band, Cashmere.
After college, Crow worked as a music teacher in an elementary school in St. Louis before moving to Los Angeles in 1986. She began recording jingles for advertising clients, including McDonald’s, and worked as a back-up singer. In 1987-88 she sang on Michael Jackson’s “Bad” world tour. She later sang back-up for Sting, Rod Stewart and Don Henley. In 1991 Crow recorded an album for A&M Records which she shelved because it sounded too “slick.” She began playing with the band The Tuesday Music Club, comprised of Bill Bottrell, David Baerwald, David Ricketts, and Sheryl’s then-boyfriend Kevin Gilbert. In 1993 the group released the multi-platinum album Tuesday Night Music Club which included the smash hit, “All I Wanna Do.”
In 1995, she won three Grammy Awards for Best New Artist, Record of the Year (for “All I Want to Do”), and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for Tuesday Music Club. She also performed a MTV Unplugged session in 1995. Crow released the album Sheryl Crow in 1996, winning two Grammy Awards for Best Rock Album and Best Female Rock Vocal Performance. She spent much of 1997-98 on tour, playing select dates on the Rolling Stones’ Bridges to Babylon tour and performing at the 1998 Lilith Fair concerts. She released her third album The Globe Sessions in the fall of 1998, which won a Grammy for Best Rock Album. During 1999, Crow performed in Europe and toured with Lilith Fair throughout the United States. At the Grammy Awards in February 2000, Crow won for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance, for her rendition of the Guns 'n Roses hit ""Sweet Child o'Mine.""

Love your COVER of the GNR tune, that so many have tried.
You MORE than do it justice AND do only what Sheryl Crow could do.
ROCK ON, with your bad-ass self!

Sheryl.. Love your sound! I recorded with Allen Sanderson at Statesound. I noticed he was the master engineer for "Bridges Over Babylon" by the Roll'in Stones. The gold record on his wall was a give away for that. Were you a part of that recording or did you just perform with them?. I have done a number of recordings with drummer Roger Friend. I would like you to listen to some of my music because I think it might fit in with your style I am an IAC artist and just have two of just a few of my songs. Roger Rittenhouse

Hi Sheryl!
It's so great to see you on IAC! I am a huge fan of your music. I wanted to take a moment to thank you about being so gracious about your victory over breast cancer. You are a great example of a strong woman, and your story is one of many that inspired me to see my doctor with a recent scare. Wishing you the best in 2008!!
