After being discovered at age 14 as Johnny Cash’s opening act on his Australian tour
the diminutive brunette Sherrie Austin packed her bags and her entire family and moved to Hollywood California to join the cast of the hit series ‘The Facts Of Life’.
Country music soon came calling again and she signed a recording contract with Arista Nashville in 97’ releasing two albums and charting several singles including ‘Lucky In Love’, ’One Solitary Tear’ and ‘Never Been Kissed’. After the acquisition of Arista records by RCA, she went on to make two independent records and in 03’ had her first major chart hit with the title track from her record ‘Streets Of Heaven’.
In 2005 she stretched her theatrical wings in New York receiving critical acclaim in the NY Times for her portrayal of Bonnie Parker in the off Broadway ‘The Ballad of Bonnie and Clyde’. Using this as a springboard to Broadway she joined the cast of ‘Ring Of Fire’ in 2006.
The last few years has been a focus more on songwriting. Tim McGraw along with special guest Faith Hill recorded her song ‘ShotGun Rider’ on his 2007 release ‘Let It Go’. Austin’s success continues with the title track to Blake Sheltons 2008 ‘Startin Fires’ and a hilarious duet recorded by Trace Adkins and Blake Shelton called ‘If I Was A Woman’. She can also boast a cut by the King of Country himself, George Strait called
‘Where’ve I Been All My Life’ on his Grammy nominated 2009 release, ‘Twang’.
Along with cuts by country greats such as Dolly Parton, Ronnie Milsap and Hal Ketchum. Currently she has a single being released to country radio May 2015 by Broken Bow recording artist Jackie Lee called ‘Headphones’.
The muli-talented Saucy Aussie is also touring all over the country with her independent release ‘Circus Girl’.
