Angelle Sheridan

The Muse spoke to Angelle at an early age. “Hey kids, let's put on a show!” was her childhood battle cry. For her first “full production” she dragged her collection of Elton John songs over to the local recreation center and sang her favorite tunes to all she could gather that day. Angelle had asked her parents to get her a guitar for Christmas, but with a family of five, they could not afford one.

In spite of that, Angelle was soon composing her own words and melodies, collaborating with various other musicians and seeking out instrumental players to write music that fit her own songs, often borrowing guitars from her friends so she could take up the instrument on her own.

By age fourteen, Angelle was making the front page of local entertainment newspapers, performing with her talented and trusted friend Jim Volk on guitar. One reporter would later publish a story with the headline “Waiting for a Nod from Lady Luck”.

Angelle's parents purchased her first guitar for her sixteenth birthday, and she began playing acoustic shows in small clubs all around her home state, later adding two, three or more musicians to her local bands, before leaving home to live in San Francisco busking as a street musician.

Angelle joined the classic rock band Wild Horses, whose Top-5 single “Funky Poodle” garnered the group national attention. She very much enjoyed her years with these veterans, playing to a wide variety of audiences, but also began recording her own acoustic material.

Next Angelle joined the group Dreamstreet, who opened for national acts, including Grand Funk Railroad and Humble Pie.

During the nineties, Angelle enrolled at the acclaimed John Carroll University, majoring in literary theory and philosophy.
She performed as Master of Ceremonies for the Ross Perot Presidential Campaign rally in Indianapolis, Indiana, which was broadcast on national television.

In 2009, Angelle relocated to Los Angeles, CA and spent the next 7 years working with her bass player/producer husband, Danny Sheridan. Danny passed away in May, 2016.

Since returning to Ohio, Angelle continues to work on various stage and studio projects, producing and promoting a variety of events, including The Jets Featuring Angelle Sheridan.

Currently, Angelle is in Cleveland, Ohio, and is writing new music, and has to returned to recording and performing after a long break.
