Sheryl Crow (Sheryl Suzanne Crow) was born on February 11, 1962 in Kennett, Missouri is an American blues rock singer, guitarist, bassist, and songwriter.

Her music blends country, pop, folk, and blues rock into one mainstream sound, and she has won nine Grammy Awards. Crow is also a noted political activist who uses her fame to promote causes she supports.

In 1992, Crow recorded her first attempt at her debut album with Phil Collins' producer, Hugh Padgham. The self-titled debut album was slated to be released on September 22, 1992, but was ultimately rejected by her label.

Her then-boyfriend Kevin Gilbert invited her to tour with him as part of his band, Toy Matinee.

In 1996, Crow released her eponymous second album, which earned her the cover of Rolling Stone. The album was darker and grittier and far more political, with songs about abortion, homelessness and nuclear war. The debut single, "If It Makes You Happy", became a radio hit, and netted her two Grammy awards for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance and Best Rock Album.

On the red carpet at the 2006 CMA Awards, Crow reported that she was working on a country music album. According to Entertainment Weekly, Wildflower, at one point was to be followed, in about six months, by a "pop record."

At the 2006 CMA Awards, Crow performed the songs "What You Give Away" with Vince Gill, and "Building Bridges" with Brooks & Dunn and Vince Gill.

Crow has been confirmed as one of the artists that would be taking part in the Live Earth concerts on July 7, 2007.
On May 12, 2007, Crow announced on her official website that she had adopted a two-week-old boy named Wyatt Steven. The child was born on April 29, 2007.
