Sheryl Crow

Sheryl Crow was born on February 11, 1962, in Kennett, Missouri, to musical parents. She studied music education at the University of Missouri and taught elementary school while performing with local bands and recording advertising jingles. After moving to Los Angeles, she sang backup on Michael Jackson’s Bad world tour from 1987 to 1989, then performed with artists including Sting, Foreigner, and Rod Stewart. Her early work with producer Hugh Padgham stalled over its pop direction, but sessions with producer Bill Bottrell and a circle of Los Angeles musicians led to her 1993 debut, Tuesday Night Music Club. Its breakthrough single, “All I Wanna Do,” reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and helped earn Crow three Grammy Awards in 1995, including Record of the Year. Her self-titled 1996 album and The Globe Sessions (1998) continued her success with songs such as “If It Makes You Happy,” “Everyday Is a Winding Road,” and “My Favorite Mistake.” She wrote and performed the title song for the James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies (1997), and later contributed “Kiss That Girl” to Bridget Jones’s Diary and “Real Gone” to Cars. Crow explored soul on 100 Miles from Memphis (2010) and country on Feels Like Home (2013), then released Be Myself (2017) and the collaborative Threads (2019). Inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2023, she followed Evolution (2024), produced by Mike Elizondo; its title track addressed artificial intelligence and featured Tom Morello on guitar. In 2025, she released the singles “I Know,” “The New Normal,” and “See You on the Other Side.” She announced Pick You Up, a seven-song album co-written with longtime collaborator Jeff Trott and led by “Freedom Bus,” featuring Jesse Welles. The album was released on October 9, 2026.
