About the Artist
Sheri Bauer-Mayorga is a vocalist,songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist. She began her career in NYC playing contemporary American piano repertoire and appeared in venues such as the The Kitchen and New Music America. An interest in American traditional music (via the work of composer Ruth Crawford Seeger) led to Sheri's research and performance of traditional folk song. Most recently, she has performed this repertoire in a theater context with the New York company, The Actor's Ensemble, in their adaptation of stories by Hamlin Garland. She is also arranger and "orchestra" for a British-American pantomime company, The PantoLoons. Sheri has also collaborated in arranging and performing with Lincoln Mayorga both as pianist and vocalist. This marks their first recorded collaboration.
Album Description
This most recent TownHall CD is a compilation of songs that arise when confronting political, social, racial, economic, or spiritual "railroad tracks" or boundaries. The twelve tracks include songs by each of the Mayorgas, Duke Ellington, Ewan MacColl, Dorsey Dixon and traditional songs in original arrangements. Sheri Bauer-Mayorga's unique and expressive voice establishes her as a skillful and innovative interpretor capable of handling this unusual mix of musical genres. This collaboration with husband, Lincoln Mayorga, as pianist and producer, has turned out an original and beautifully transparent sounding recording. Instrumentation includes vocals, guitar, and accordion by Sheri Bauer-Mayorga, Lincoln Mayorga on piano, Pete Toigo on bass, Jeff Kraus on percussion and Trevor Caldwell on Low D whistle. The town of Chatham, New York makes a guest appearance on one tune with its local marching bands, the 2002 Chatham Fair, the local espresso bar, and the mayor's barking beagle.
