Sherri James Buxton is an elegant interpreter of a range of genres from standards and show tunes to jazz, delighting audiences with her warmth, depth, versatility and flawless technique. She combines a lifelong love of melody and lyric with a highly skilled voice and beautiful stage presence. If you've heard a Buxton performance of a song, you've heard that song's definitive interpretation. Sherri has appeared on and off Broadway, and in numerous cabaret venues in New York City. She has also performed locally at The Colonial Theatre, The Norman Rockwell Museum, The Berkshire Athenaeum, The Gateways Inn, Mission Bar and Tapas, Castle Street Café and the Seven Hills Cabaret. Sherri teaches at the Berkshire Music School where her Onstage Live and Rising Stars Workshops have helped to start many careers in music.
 
Bob Shepherd is one of New England's favorite musicians. He plays beautiful jazz music in various venues from solo to big band and especially enjoys accompanying singers who consider him a "musician's magician."
