Troubadour was also the #1 Independent album, #1 iTunes album with lead single ‘Hometown Love’ added to high rotation on Australian radio. Sheridan’s musical journey took root in the heartland of Australia, where his natural storytelling ability through music was cultivated. ‘I love the nature of telling a story with an acoustic guitar,’ he shares, ‘and singing soulfully has always felt like second nature to me. With a repertoire that impresses, Sheridan has mesmerized audiences at some of Australia’s premier music festivals, including The Red Hot Summer Tour and One Electric Day at Werribee Mansion.
