SHERYL CROW: Songwriter. Activist. Rock star. Woman. Champion. Mother. Nine-time Grammy winner Sheryl Crow is many things, but at the core, she remains a creative spirit channeling her talents into music that lifts people up, brings them together, and speaks to the truths on the horizon. Twenty-five years after winning her first Grammy, as well as Record of the Year and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for “All I Wanna Do,” the Kennett, Missouri-born guitarist/vocalist/creative thought about all she’d done, the places she’d been, the lives that’d touched hers – and saw the rich tapestry her journey had become. Crow’s is a career beyond dreams, with songs that defined the third wave of feminism, a rockist’s ability to sweep the pop charts without losing any edge and enough wide-open Midwestern joy to captivate the world. Her first nine studio albums have sold 35 million copies worldwide; seven charted in the Top 10, and five were certified for Multi-Platinum sales. Crow has been feted by a new generation of singer-songwriters who have covered her songs and talked about her influence, including Phoebe Bridgers, H.E.R, Haim, Maren Morris, Lorde, Sasami, Best Coast, and Brandi Carlile. In 2019, Crow released her critically acclaimed album THREADS via The Valory Music Co., a collection of collaborations made with and in tribute to artists with whom Crow has musical connections. And in turn, she seeks to inspire people through her music and songs, especially the younger generation. “The passion and ability of our young people to dig deep and express themselves energizes and encourages me endlessly,” Crow says. “It thrills me to see their passion and will to change the world." Most recently, the full-length documentary film based on Crow’s life and career, entitled Sheryl, premiered to critical acclaim at the 2022 SXSW Film Festival ahead of its network premiere on SHOWTIME. An intimate story of song and sacrifice, Sheryl navigates an iconic yet arduous musical career while the artist battles sexism, ageism, depression, cancer, and the price of fame, before harnessing the power of her gift.
Crow is known as well for her passionate support of multiple charities, including The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, The World Food Program, Feeding America, ADOPT A CLASSROOM, the Elton John AIDS Foundation, MusiCares, the Delta Children’s Home and many other worthy causes.
Passion Pit began as the solo project of Michael Angelakos, who started making music in his Boston dorm room and Cambridge apartment in 2006. After self-releasing the Chunk of Change EP in 2007, Angelakos formed a full band with friends Ian Hultquist, Ayad Al Adhamy, Jeff Apruzzese, and Nate Donmoyer. Their early buzz in Boston quickly led to national attention, with the breakout single “Sleepyhead” launching them into the spotlight. The band's debut album Manners followed in 2009, leading to sold-out shows, a gold record in Australia, and a landmark Coachella performance. Their 2012 follow-up Gossamer debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard charts, featuring the platinum hit “Take A Walk” and marked the beginning of Angelakos' public mental health advocacy.
In the years since, Passion Pit released Kindred (2015) and Tremendous Sea of Love (2017), the latter shared for free to promote mental health awareness via Angelakos’ Wishart Group. Throughout his career, Angelakos has navigated the complexities of bipolar disorder while continuing to innovate creatively and speak openly about the industry’s challenges. Now returning to his roots as a solo performer, he’s releasing Nine Times Your Torch Songs in phases—raw, collaborative, and directly to fans. Stay up to date at passionpitmusic.substack.com.
