Studio City Singer/Songwriter Sheri Pedigo Brings Her Sexy Sultry Soulful Country to Home Turf

Normally on the road elsewhere, she's singing at Skinny's Lounge this Monday and Thursday, Oct. 20 at Universal Bar & Grill.

Sheri Pedigo loves living in Studio City because of how convenient everything is, the lack of “parking drama,” it’s not overcrowded, and especially the “upscale creative environment” that’s conducive to her artistic endeavors.

She’s looking forward to her premiere performance at Skinny’s Lounge in North Hollywood, depicting the venue as having a great sound system, prime location, and being artist friendly, with efficient and enthusiastic promoters.

Universal Bar & Grill holds a special place in Sheri’s heart because it was the first location she played when she arrived in Los Angeles from Nashville. That bit of nostalgia is sure to amplify her already inherently skillful and unique artistry.

Pedigo is particularly thrilled to present a special tribute to musician, Steve Lee, lead singer of the Swiss Rock Band Gotthard, who passed away last year. Sheri cowrote the song Break Away with Lee which was released in September 2009 on Gotthard’s Need To Believe album. The Album went Number 8 in the German charts in 2010.

Singing a remake of the original hit song Heaven, which was written by Lee and Leo Leoni, Gotthard’s lead guitar player, will be a highlight of Pedigo’s gig. Her country version is brilliant, moving, and inspirational. Sheri’s amazing arrangement, produced by Gary Cook, can be heard on her website www.sheripedigo.com.

As a Los Angeles recording artist, Sheri is considered pure and earthy to passionate and playful. Her musical style has best been described as a breath taking mix of Karen Carpenter and Tina Turner, which has led people to refer to her as an "Angel with Soul.”

She’s shared the stage with many icons including Billy Davis and Marilyn McCoo (Fifth Dimension); cowritten with Stephen Housden (Little River Band) and Producer Narada Micheal Walden; as well as produced and cowritten songs with Actress Dyan Cannon.

Sheri has been involved in many charitable events e.g. the opening act for Randy Travis at William Schatner’s Hollywood Charity Horse show in Burbank California 2008 and singing the anthem during Schatner’s entry to the arena on horseback.

Her love for horses was the motivation to support and be a voice for the Wild Mustangs whose lives are in danger everyday out on the range. For more info go to: www.grassrootshorse.com.

In 2010, Sheri continued her ventures into the European market as an artist/songwriter by collaborating with a German and Swiss dance team on the song Caravan for which she wrote the lyrics and recorded on Refuge Records.

Her voice has been heard on national jingles for Coca-Cola, Krogers, Hennessy and Pat Boone’s new song I Had A Dream. For more musical tracks go to: www.reverbnation.com/angelwithsoul
