Artists:Scott Sheldon

Scott Sheldon is a new jersey singer-songwriter whose music has been described as the product of "a drunken meeting of Cole Porter and Tom Lehrer." From the wry (covering such topics as the history of sex and the last sour years of Frodo Baggins) to the heartfelt (including wistful songs about coming of age, the creative life, and the "little miracle" of love), his songs are moving and funny, and his performances use humor and audience involvement to keep listeners entertained and captivated.

Scott has been writing and performing since the 1970's (he is listed as the first headliner ever to perform at the Folk Project's Minstrel Coffeehouse, in June 1978), and performs regularly in the NY/NJ area. He has done several shows at NJ's premier weekly acoustic venue, the Minstrel Coffeehouse, as headliner, opener, and festival performer. He has also performed at the New Jersey Folk Festival and at most major acoustic stages in the area.
