ABOUT JEFF SHERMAN
Jeff Sherman
American Stranger
Some people hoard sports memorabilia or license plates. For me, playing music in Cleveland over the years has allowed me to "collect" a variety of songs that represent my roots in the widest sense: from Great Britain to the Caribbean; from New York to California; and everywhere in-between. The 11 songs here are the parts of my collection I've chosen to put on display. My favorite artists are represented here and I only hope to do them some measure of tribute. I hope you enjoy listening to these songs as much as I've enjoyed performing them over the years and, finally, recording them here.
Note from Mike...this album was our first publication, and I still enjoy listening. Check out Whiter Shade of Pale for an unexpected take on a great song. Click here to sample the song:

Special thanks to my good friends Mike Pugh and Joe Jordan. To Mike for making it possible, and to Joe for making it workable. Also to the wonderful musicians, vocalists, and engineers who've contributed their valuable time and wonderful talents. And most importantly, my thanks to my wife and daughters for their support and their patience along the way.Note from Mike...this album was our first publication, and I still enjoy listening.
