About the performers:

Sherry Cothran was the lead singer of a popular rock band, The Evinrudes, who had a hit song in the late 90's on rock radio and record deals on Mercury Records, NY and Flying Sparks, London. She shared stages with many rock acts of the late 90's, including Bare Naked Ladies, Goo Goo Dolls, Spin Doctors, and others. After leaving the band, she continued to make music as an award winning songwriter with three solo albums, gained critical acclaim, placed songs in movie, TV and radio while attending Vanderbilt Divinity, getting an M.Div. and becoming a United Methodist minister. Sherry recently reunited with The Evinrudes to create her new album and is sharing her music for a cause, Beloved Woman, a nonprofit she founded in Chattanooga to help women create a pathway to a living wage through entrepreneurship.
