Sherman is the alterego of the Belgian singersongwriter Steven Bossuyt. Starting off with just the need to fulfill his urge to write songs, Sherman ended up recording some demos with good friend, and now drummer of the band, David Demeyere. After playing several live solo shows in both Belgium and the UK, Sherman decided to take it to another level and moved to London, where he rented a 12 square meter flat and served coffee in a bakery/coffeeshop in Hampstead. After hours he kept on writing songs and playing solo shows at several venues all over town, from 'Enterprise' and 'Dublin Castle' in Camden to 'Spice of life' in Soho and 'Powers bar' in Kilburn. After trying every new song he wrote in front of a live audience and receiving a good response, plans were made to record a single. First single 'On your side' was produced by EMI Publishing-signed multi talent Jeroen Swinnen and will be released August 1st 2010. Backed up by David Demeyere on drums, Timothy Jacobs on bass and Gerben Hemelsoen on guitar, Sherman is now ready to hit the road as a full band. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 'Tame Macca style late Beatles balladeering and render it in as soporific a way as possible- which works! Unlike Coldplay et al there's a genuine emotive charge about this understated though it is. 'Tangerine' comes on like late era XTC/Andy Partridge and is very lovely- judicious use of strings/woodwind- lotta talent here. '- Bugbear bookings London
