Under the Sherry Moon is the three great and innovative musicians: Signe Marie Schmidt-Jacobsen (Daughters of Real, Paula NewWoman), Oliver Hoiness (Skammens vogn, Joy L, Kira) and Mikkel Holtoug (Decorate Decorate, Death by Kite and DJ). They each have their roots in widely different parts of alternative music which becomes obvious when listening to their cocktail of genrebusting popmusic containg electro, dub, minimalistic keyboards, organ grinding. The reeling common ground is the smell of playfulness, creative zest, down-to-earth desire for beauty and naughtiness - and the result is their quirky and experimental circuspop.
Live they are accompanied by Martin Ullits Dahl (Prins Nitram, Eggs laid by Tigers).
Another trade mark is the truly beautiful and original songs which further more are are sung by one of the most charming and touching voices in Denmark.

...On top of this quirky music Signe Marie Schmidt -Jacobsens clear vocal appears. Her voice is influenced by old diva-traditions and its sound is comparable to Hope Sandovals (Mazzy Star) voice. And it is beautiful.... Gaffa review from SPOT Festival 2008 written by Simon Christensen..
...The lo-fi esthetics is obvious, the songs are damn well composed and the casual presence on stage is charming...
..Under the Sherry Moon is a small constellation a guitarist, a drummer and Signe Marie Schmidt-Jacobsen in front. They also played keyboards, banjo, accordion and toy guitar and their expression was playfull. Sometimes they were noisy like Sonic Youth at other times they sounded fragile like Cat Power. Most of the time it was just all about good songs arranged like playful, charming and experimental circus pop.. Soundvenue review from SPOT Festival 2008 written by Otto Lerche.
