Early Life
Sheryl Suzanne Crowboff was born on February 11, 1962 in Kennett, Missouri. She was born into a musical family, as her parents were members of a local big band. Her father, an attorney by trade, played the trumpet, and his influence gave Crow her first exposure to that musical genre. Crow was encouraged to pursue her musical interests, and the family accommodated her by keeping several pianos in the house.
Crow's childhood was filled with experiences on stage in some form, and that included the school choir, school plays and athletics. She was well-rounded in nature, and was even involved in the National Honor Society and Future Farmers of America. She was a good student, and upon completion of high school she matriculated at the University of Missouri in Columbia.
After receiving her college degree in 1984, Crow went to work in a suburb of St. Louis as an elementary school music teacher. She was engaged at the time, and took the job to be near her fiancée. Her job also allowed her the freedom to perform with local bands at night and on weekends.
However, her engagement ended soon thereafter, and Crow began to focus more on her music. Her initial efforts were made with advertising jingles, and two of her writings were for national campaigns for Toyota and McDonald's. She made quite a bit of money for this work, and decided at that point to move to Los Angeles in 1986 to pursue her musical dreams full-time.
Musical Career
Crow initially made her way as a backup singer for the likes of Michael Jackson and Don Henley, and she was eventually noticed by record executives. She signed a recording contract with A&M Records, but was disappointed with her first cut which was never released. Eventually, she met a group called the Tuesday Night Music Club, and her style began to take shape.
Since then, Crow has released seven albums, and six of them went platinum. She also continued to tour aggressively, and Sheryl Crow tickets became a worldwide phenomenon. In all, she has sold millions of copies of her work, won nine Grammy Awards and gained additional fame for her causes, including Farm Aid.
Crow's style is timeless in nature, and she continues to release albums and tour extensively. Her star shines as brightly now as it ever has, and Sheryl Crow tickets will always be a chance to see a complete musical performance.
