Sherri Mullen ... A new breed of singer/songwriter has emerged.. Sherri defies categorization as she writes and performs songs that run the gamut of musical
A New Breed of Singer/Songwriter Has Emerged... Once a dream, now her destiny, it is only fitting to call Sherri Mullen one of Harrisburg's finest prodigies in the realm of singer/songwriters. Realizing early in life that she wanted to perform, Sherri's natural talent for writing poetry and music shone through. Although her desire was strong, it was several years before the yearning won over. It was inevitable, Sherri needed to rock! Already a classically trained pianist, Sherri picked up a guitar and began to absorb everything and anything pertaining to music. Learning quickly, she took her talents to the stage. Within a year, Sherri Mullen recorded and released her first CD, "Mask." Consisting of twelve original songs, this is only a small increment of Sherri's capabilities. Possessing a broad-span vocal range and a passion for her craft, a live show best portrays Sherri's talents. Often compared to rock legends such as Heart, Pat Benatar, Bonnie Raitt, and Melissa Etheridge, Sherri's original material is what draws the audience in best. Her compelling lyrics and versatile musical style allow her to capture many genres of listening fans, as well as deliver a show portraying various ballads, power-pop tunes, a touch of blues, some alternative country, and a healthy dose of modern rock & roll! Sherri's first single, "Home Of The Free," has already made its way around the globe, a gift that Sherri offered our service men & women during the tragedies and hardships of war. Her plight was to increase morale and offer support to those who serve our country. The song is available for downloading via a special web connection at www.SherriMullen.com/freedownload . This song has also been featured in a television show and in broadcasts on various radio stations around the country. In addition to her busy schedule as a performing singer/songwriter in heavy demand, Sherri also hosts a weekly internet radio show on Tuesday evenings, as well as participating in a recent addition to television cable, a show on WHBG-Channel 20 (Comcast), pertaining to local happenings in the Harrisburg city and its fluent music scene. Sherri is a member of ASCAP, the Recording Academy (NARAS), and is a Regional Workshop Coordinator for the Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI). With an abundance of songs in her repertoire, she is gaining the attention of the music publishing community and ulitimately hopes to place her recorded material into the film and television markets, and to provide songs for other recording artists.

Story behind the song
This song was the first release off of my debut album MASK. It is dedicated to all of the victims of September 11th and their families. The song was written 3 weeks after the September 11th attrocities - on my birthday. It was my way of healing...it was the day I decided to no longer live in fear! Right now this song is particularly near and dear to my heart as I pray for safe return of our brave service men and women. My wish is that this song gives hope and inspiration to them and all Americans...and encourages people to live their lives despite the cloud of hatred cast by terrorism. And to our service men and women, know that I support you, I pray for your safe return, and I THANK YOU!!! God Bless America!!!
