She first appeared on the national folk scene in 1992, when she won the songwriting contests at the Kerrville Folk Festival and the Telluride Bluegrass Festival and released her critically acclaimed debut, Quietly Led. Since then, she's been on the road and at home in Moab, Utah, writing songs in her 1955 travel trailer-turned-studio, and has released five more albums on the Waterbug and Wind River/Folk Era labels. In 2003 she created a one-woman show, "The Pomegranate Seed - An Exploration Of Appetite, Body Image and Myth in Modern Culture," and released an accompanying CD of the music. The Salt Lake Tribune described it as "a bold unflinching look at issues affecting women's lives" while New Mexico arts magazine, Alibi, called it "Sheridan's soul bled directly to disc."

As one of the pre-eminent songwriters on the folk scene documenting the lives of modern women, Cosy Sheridan places the fast-paced culture of 21st century America into a mythic context with insightful, energetic, and, at times, comic effect. Who else would think to make Botox injections the modern equivalent to the beauty cream of Persephone, Queen of the Underworld? She has also earned a national reputation as a songwriting teacher, and has been on the faculty at The Swannanoa Gathering in North Carolina, Summersongs in New York, the California Coast Music Camp and The Black Hills Songwriting Retreat in South Dakota.
