Homegrown Music Cafe Sheri Miller November 12th, 2011
Sheri Miller
Once upon a time, in New York City, a young musician and artist named Sheri Miller, armed with her acoustic guitar, her electric sunburst 1969 Guild guitar, her Yamaha keyboard, and a pen and paper, began to write songs. Dozens of songs. She had a great love and a deep, soulful connection to music, as her mother was an opera singer and classical piano player, and her uncle a recording engineer.
During the evenings, Sheri was hard at work, paying her musical dues, working incessantly as a solo musician in the big city; fearlessly singing her heart out, banging on her guitar. Playing 4-hour covers gigs in bars and hotels, sometimes 5 nights a week. In the daytime, Sheri played keyboards and sang in a rock band for babies, as a music teacher. In between these hours, when not tirelessly working to pay her rent as a musician, Sheri passionately wrote hundreds of pages of loose-leaf-strewn lyrics, dozens upon dozens of songs; channeling her anguish and heartbreak from a major love break-up, and dealing with tumultuous heart-breaking family issues. Sheri poured her struggles, inner demons and inner angels, and heart-drenched stories into creating a new, magnificent album; an album with integrity, soul, and artistry she'd be proud of. Sheri had released her critically-acclaimed debut record in 2008, "Mantra," which featured an underground hit, "Right Here, Right Now."

Homegrown Music Cafe Mikey Wax September 10th, 2011
Mikey Wax
The morning of his graduation from Vanderbilt University, singer/songwriter Mikey Wax received a letter that took 20 years to get to him. It was written by his late grandfather, who requested the letter be handed down to Mikey when he was a young man ready to enter "the real world." Inside were words of love and wisdom to make up for lost time that the two would never share together. Inspired by these words, Mikey knew he had to pursue his one true passion; music. A piano player and singer/songwriter all his life, Mikey returned home to New York to begin recording the songs he had written throughout his college years. The collection of songs resulted in his debut album titled Change Again, which quickly ranked on the iTunes top 100 pop albums chart due to strong word of mouth on social network sites like facebook, myspace, and youtube. The single "In Case I Go Again" was selected as the winner of The Unsigned Artist radio contest held by South Florida's leading top-40 station WRMF/97.9 FM, and has since been featured on several television shows including the hit CBS series "Ghost Whisperer". The music video for "In Case I Go Again" has also received 450,000 hits on YouTube since being featured on the homepage for their "Music Tuesday" spotlight.
