Who Is Sheri Porter?

I have no idea. But she is, hands-down, the DisCovery Award winner of this issue. Lend her your ears.

"I just had my ears pinned back. She sings great. The vocal backups are beautifully layered. The song is so cool. The production is purest perfection. Seek this record out and listen for yourself---You can thank me later."

Bio

Full Name: Sheri Jo Porter Birthday: March 2, 1981 Hometown: Warsaw, MO Childhood: My childhood was the best! I grew up in a blue house on top of a hill. My best friend lived 2 doors down, and the old lady across the street never ran out of ice cream sandwiches. We rode bikes, climbed trees, built clubhouses, and camped in the backyard. What else could a kid ask for? First Words: "Jacob" (my year older brother) and "no." First Stitches: I fell over my brother who was lying in the floor and I hit my chin on the back edge of a rocking chair. I was only a year old, and I still have a little "railroad track" underneath my chin from the 5 stitches I got. Brothers + Sisters: I have... 3 half-sisters, 1 step sister, 3 half brothers, 1 full blooded brother, and 2 step brothers. That makes.... Ten! Nieces + Nephews: Seventeen - and one on the way! Favorite teacher: Mrs. Mercer, my kindergarten teacher. She casted me in my first musical - The Three Piggy Opera! High School: Warsaw High School, Home of the Wildcats! Activities: Stu-Co, English Club, Drama, Speech, National Honor Society, Pep Club Music: Madrigal Singers, All-State Choir, Band (Drum-section leader), Missouri Lions Club Band Sports: Basketball, Track, and Volleyball! Our volleyball team won like 4 games in the 4 years that I played! We had a good time, though. On Stage: My favorite performances were being the evil stepsister in Cinderella and the mother MLynn in Steel Magnolias. I also loved doing showstoppers. My signatu
