Sheryl Crow’s blend of rock, pop, and country helped define both the ‘90s singer-songwriter revival, and the rise of long-silenced female voices. With powerful pipes capable of both delicate intimacy and raw soul, she delivered material encompassing introspection, humor, desire and longing. A political activist, Crow frequently appeared at benefit concerts and has been embraced by diverse audiences – her Americana sound growing a global fanbase.

Signature Sound

With the polished, rootsy pop of her ‘93 debut, Sheryl Crow was just getting started. Seizing the production reins for her eponymous ’96 follow-up and beyond, she delved deeper into both radio-ready rock and introspective Americana, playing multiple instruments and delivering incisive, lyrically rich material that resonated in multiple genres.

Leather & Lace

Sheryl Crow wore this gorgeous North Beach Leather jacket in the music video for her hit “All I Wanna Do.” The leather-clothing boutique became associated with rock & roll soon after its cofounding in L.A. by designer Michael Hoban.

In ’67, the shop relocated to San Francisco’s North Beach, where Hoban and his wife Amy Hoban oversaw custom designs for Elvis, Elton John and others.

Sheryl has become a very personal songwriter, and that's what will make her a big part of rock history in 15 years.
