Long Beach resident Christine “Cece” Sherman has taken on a daunting task: to learn every song ever written by Californian punk rock legends NOFX and re-interpret them as folk songs on the acoustic guitar. NOFX’s lyrical depth and poignant satire take on a whole new life when stripped down to their basics. Grown men have been known to shed a tear when hearing the songs executed so delicately.
There’s Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Woody and Arlo Guthries, and now… Cece Sherman? Stranger things have happened.
Since debuting last fall, Cece, as she is called by friends, has already opened for such acts as Chuck Ragan, The Aggrolites, Exene Cervenka and The White Buffalo. And she made her first official tour to Austin to play alongside bands Cheap Girls, Continental, Joey Briggs, The Sparring and Death Punch at the Slidebar/Old Shoe Records/Iron Fist Clothing day party during SXSW 2011.
Between sets, Cece busked along 6th Street and that’s where we made this video of Eat The Meek.
