(Washington CH) – Washington Court House City Schools has announced the return of ARTS ROAR, a day dedicated to celebrating the fine arts throughout the Blue Lion Family.

On Thursday, April 11, 2024, the community is invited to an evening immersed in the arts, featuring a rolling art show, scavenger hunt, concert, and the induction of Andy Sheridan ’06 into the inaugural WCHCS Arts Hall of Fame.

The rolling art show will showcase noteworthy visual art pieces created by students throughout the school year, along with some special surprises crafted specifically for this occasion. With a schedule that overlaps, attendees are invited to explore the students’ creations across various buildings.

Songwriter and Producer Andy Sheridan was born and raised in Washington Court House, Ohio, where his passion for music began at a young age. Starting with piano, then with school bands and choirs, he found his real calling. 

After graduating from Washington Senior High School in 2006, Andy moved to Nashville, TN to attend Belmont University, but quickly found musical success outside the four walls of the classroom. Sheridan swapped his college books for a life on the road, touring as a full-time musician/band leader.

Sheridan has toured the world with Phil Vassar, Hunter Hayes and Ben Rector, playing shows all over the U.S, and dozens of other countries, ultimately corning a Guinness World Record for most shows played in 24 hours.

Andy has shared the stage and the studio with countless other artists, such as: Stevie Wonder, John Legend, and Jason Mraz. Sheridan saw his first #l hit on SiriusXM Radio & first certified Gold Record with “Narcissist”, by Avery Anna. He has landed other numerous cuts with Avery Anna, Parmalee, Dustin Lynch, Sam Riggs, Tyler Farr (feat. Jelly Roll), Nate Smith, and many more. 

Additionally, Sheridan produces projects for other artists, and has cultivated a solid network of hit co-writers in Nashville, ultimately proving himself in the room with his creative tracks and skilled musicianship.

Andy is married to the love of his life, Melissa, and they have 2 children, Jett and Chandler.

Sheridan will be inducted into the WCHCS Arts Hall of Fame on Thursday, April 11, 2024, at 7:00 pm.
