Sherman Ewing: Single Room Saloon
Self-released
Single Room Saloon is the product of an artist with a troubled past, told through a voice that is truly genuine. Sherman Ewing’s traumatic life has included the death of both of his parents and a battle with drugs. But through his music, he moves forward—emerging as a triumphant storyteller with a soulful brand of pop-friendly rock that, at times, channels a sound similar to early folk-period Dylan with an upbeat twist. On his second release, Ewing attracts an impressive list of guests including longtime collaborator JoJo Hermann (Widespread Panic), Michael Ray (Sun Ra, Kool and the Gang), Phish lyricist Tom Marshall and more. The album also features jangly country guitar lines from former Spin Doctors’ guitarist Anthony Krizan (“Grey Skies Blue”) and Ray’s climactic trumpet hooks (“Heaven Waits,” “Single Room Saloon”).
