Sheryl Crow Wows the Foothills ~ By, Charity Maness
Murphys, CA....Sheryl Crow, winner of nine Grammy Awards, rocked the Ironstone Vineyards Amphitheater at the final concert of the season for Ironstone, singing many songs from her very large repertoire along with a few from her recently released “100 Miles from Memphis” album. Her talent certainly not limited to one genre, she reaches across generational lines touchy all that hear her music. Claiming her love of all genres comes from her love of anything with a drum beat, quoted as saying, “If it doesn’t have a drum beat, you can just forget about it.” ....

Opening for Sheryl was G. Love and Special Sauce a band with an interesting take on R&B, a mixture of a little hip hop, a little soft rap, and a touch of old time rock and roll. This four man band from Philadelphia had the crowd dancing and screaming for more. G. Love, aka Garrett Dutton, showed off his multiple talents on guitar, vocals, and harmonica, proving that harmonica is not just for country or blues.
Security was on their game when the crowd went wild as Sheryl entered the stage. The people stood in their seats and danced in the isles, undulating to the rhythmic sounds and memorable songs. Sheryl stopped briefly to tell us all how lucky we were to live in such a beautiful area, saying that she and her son enjoyed their visit to Murphy’s. She invited the crowd to join in song with her, smiling her broad smile, as the crowd acquiesced readily joining in at full volume.
With musical parents, father a trumpeter and mother a pianist, it was a pretty good chance that Sheryl would be bitten by the music bug. While in High School Sheryl was an honor student and enrolled in FFA, going on to college to receive a Bachelor of Arts degree in music composition, performance and education. After graduating college Sheryl became a music teacher which allowed her the time to sing in bands on the weekends. Starting with jingles and moving to back up vocals in 1987 for Michael Jackson, Sheryl was on her way. Today Sheryl Boasts 9 Grammy’s, 3 American Music Awards, and 1 People’s Choice Award, to name a few.
