UPCOMING 2017 PERFORMANCES
Sheridan takes on
arguably his greatest
musical challenge yet!
"Ever since I first saw Julie Michels and George Koller perform together live - over 20 years ago - I've been dreaming of singing in a voice and bass duo, but somehow I just never felt quite ready... and guess what?... I still don't! (LoL) It's a daunting prospect, and not one for the faint of heart. But hey, I'm not getting any younger, so what the hell! Crossing one more line off the ol' bucket list. Seriously, I hope you'll join Ross and me for this exciting new musical adventure!" – Joel Sheridan
