Theresa Sareo is a singer with a powerful story to tell; a
story of survival, inspiration, and proof of the saving power in following your
dreams. After suffering the loss of her entire right leg in a near-fatal car accident
in 2002, she courageously reclaimed her life as a successful recording artist
and award-winning songwriter, writing and performing music with rock legends,
book authors, renowned painters and soap actors including Blood, Sweat and
Tears, Dr. M. Scott Peck and Kelly Ripa. Her music has spanned the U.S., Europe,
Asia and South America. She has appeared on many radio and television shows
including Larry King Live and Law and Order, and was featured in New York Magazine. Politically, she was a featured speaker at an International press conference with Senators Hillary Clinton and Charles Schumer in support of federal funding to Medicaid/Medicare and the public healthcare system. She has also become a tireless advocate for the trauma survivor community, especially among wounded soldiers at Walter Reed Army Hospital, as both a counselor and performer.
Theresa has released three original CDs; Theresa Sareo, Embrace and most
recently, Alive Again, which features musical giants including Steely Dan
guitarist, Jon Herington, (heard here on Alive Again,) Saturday Night Live
drummer, Shawn Pelton (heard here on Take Me Down,) and bluegrass/gospel group,
Ollabelle (heard here on Take Me Down.)
Inspired by a requested visit to Walter Reed Army Hospital by NYC Ret. Fire Captain, John Vigiano, her recent single "Through A Soldier's Eyes" is making it's way across America as the heartfelt anthem honoring wounded soldiers and their families who make the ultimate sacrifices for our country. Theresa is a regular invited guest/speaker/performer for the U.S. Army including fundraisers for the Fisher House Organization and military conventions across the country. Her appearances include Milcom 2007, AFCEA/Army LandWarNet 2008, Ft. Hamilton and The Armory Fighting 69th in NYC, Ft Monmouth in N.J., and an upcoming speaking engagment/performance at Ft. Bragg in N.C. on Dec. 17. She will also be performing for AFCEA's NOVA Chapter's Black Tie Valentine's Ball in Virginia on Feb. 14. Theresa and her father, a former WWII Navy officer, are invited guests to the U.S.S. Intrepid Sea, Air and Space grand opening on Veteran's Day with President George W. Bush.
Theresa can be found around the Tri-State area performing her original
pop/rock/country material with some of New York's most stellar musicians
including Jersey Boys lead guitarist, Steve Gibb (heard here on Even As You Walk
Away.) She also features close friends she has worked with for years including
drummer Ethan Hartshorn, bass player, Jim Nordstrom,
singer/songwriter/guitarist, Gregg Swann, singer/songwriter/pianist, Tracy
Stark, and background vocalist and graphic artist for her passed two CDs, Mary
Horenkamp.
Aside from her original music, Theresa also sings with a great jazz trio which includes Blood, Sweat and Tears keyboardist Eric Cortright. She can be found singing at some of the most popular restaurants and cafes in the NY Tri-State region. Check her website for scheduling.
Theresa has become a popular public speaker, driven to spread her music and
messages of survival throughout the business, medical and educational
communities, including Bellevue Hospital's departments of Trauma,
Anesthesiology, Psychiatry, Social Work and Rehab medicine, School of Visual
Arts, New School University, ESL schools (English as a Second Language) and
public events for the Mayor's Office of NY, to name a few.
As quoted in the New York Post this summer, her Alive Again CD is especially
rewarding because it is about the connection to the spirit of
survival--reflecting on everything from her personal recovery, to broken
relationships, to dealing with 911 from a New Yorker's perspective--all in a way
that's honest, moving and relatable. Theresa would like to thank producer Ted
Cruz and engineer Jason LaFarge for their talented input toward this record. For
