In August of 1984, both were at the Albert E. Brumley Sundown to Sunup Gospel Singing in Arkansas. Jeff, who was playing bass for the Singing Americans at the time, took the opportunity to reintroduce himself to Sheri’s mother Polly; they had met on a previous occasion. Polly introduced Jeff to Sheri and the two were married ten months later.
They traveled and performed as part of The Lewis Family for several years. But in 1988 they decided it was time to strike out on their own, and they haven’t looked back since. Also joining Jeff & Sheri on the road is their son, Madison, who plays electric guitar for the group and their daughter, Morgan, who joins them on occasion for a special solo when she’s not helping with the newest addition to the Easter family, Maura Grace. Greg and Charlotte Ritchie have been performing with Jeff & Sheri since 1994 and 1996, respectively. Their son, Landon, is a regular highlight of Jeff & Sheri’s program, offering a little comedy with help from Jeff. However Greg and CHarlotte have recently resigned from performing with Jeff and Sheri, leaving room for Morgan to sing in place of Charlotte.
Jeff & Sheri have been nominated for numerous Dove Awards and won three. They’ve also received a Grammy nomination, and Sheri has been named the Singing News Favorite Alto ten times and the Singing News Female Vocalist four times. Jeff & Sheri’s wall of awards also include three Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music Association Awards, two International Country Gospel Music Association, nine Voice Awards for Female Artist, five Voice Awards for Song/Single of the Year, two Voice Awards for Christian Country Group, four SGM Fan Fair/USGN awards, five SGN Scoops Diamond Awards, four Hearts Aflame Awards, and three Cash Box awards. They have also participated in the Gaither Homecoming Video Series since 1993, which has sold over 15 million units.
Apart from their frequent appearances on the Gaither Homecoming tour and videos, Jeff & Sheri have a fairly heavy touring schedule of their own. “When we perform, we want people to leave a little different than when they came in,” Sheri explains. “We want them to have a great time smiling, laughing, crying and healing. We want them to know God loves them and that He is in control.”

Jeff And Sheri Easter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Think of all the things we would do
Lately I been so alone
Right back where I was alone
From the beginning it been me all along
So dance with me
Dance with me
Dance with me
Running all these circles got me dizzy uh
Spending too much time caught up in the city uh
I'm just tryna be on that shit that'll lift me up
Moral of the story always been the villain uh
Try to keep up with the light speed
This is just how I be
Ain't nobody like me
I been on the road
Tryna leave it all behind me
Feeling like I might be
Losing all control
Time come for the sun to rise I do not compromise
I just go fuck the dotted line
No sunlight for the traumatized
No sunlight for the traumatized
Catch me Catch me me in a good mood
Think of all the things I would do
Lately I been so alone
Right back where I was alone
From the beginning it been me all along
So dance with me
Dance with me
Dance with me
Dance with me
Lights flashing by
Never done I maximize
Method classified
Never keeping track of lies
Never satisfied
Always gotta ratify
Jeff Sow has arrived
Put all this and that aside
Caught up in a loop
Caught up in the truth
Ducking it so long
Now I gotta move
I pray one day I see myself as someone that I love
In the horizon I see something coming up
time come for the sun to rise I do not compromise
I just go fuck the dotted line
No sunlight for the traumatized
No sunlight for the traumatized
Catch me Catch me me in a good mood
Think of all the things I would do
Lately I been so alone
Right back where I was alone
From the beginning it been me all along
So dance with me
Dance with me
Dance with me
Dance with me
Catch me Catch me me in a good mood
Think of all the things I would do
Lately I been so alone
Right back where I was alone
From the beginning it been me all along
So dance with me
Dance with me
Dance with me
Dance with me
The song "Let's Face the Music and Dance" by Jeff and Sheri Easter is a cover of the classic song written by Irving Berlin. The lyrics speak of the unpredictability of life and the inevitability of difficult times, but encourages the listener to enjoy the present moment, especially when there is music, moonlight, love and romance. The first two lines set the stage for this message, acknowledging that troubles may be ahead but that it's important to focus on the present and live in the moment. The phrase "Let's face the music and dance" is a call to action, urging listeners to seize the opportunity for joy and connection now, before it's too late.
The verses that follow reinforce this message, emphasizing the idea that time is fleeting and that we must make the most of the present moment. The lines "Before the fiddlers have fled, before they ask us to pay the bill, and while we still have the chance" paint a picture of a fleeting moment, where music and romance are present but may soon disappear. The chorus that follows is repeated twice throughout the song, with its catchy melody and simple message making it a memorable invitation to dance and enjoy life.
Overall, "Let's Face the Music and Dance" is a timeless song that reminds us of the preciousness of life and the need to find joy and connection in the moment, despite the troubles that may lie ahead.
Line by Line Meaning
There may be trouble ahead
Although there may be obstacles in our path,
But while there's music and moonlight
As long as we can still hear the music and see the moonlight,
And love and romance
And experience the joy of love and romance,
Let's face the music and dance
Let's confront the challenges with a positive attitude and dance our way through life.
Before the fiddlers have fled
Before the musicians stop playing their instruments and leave,
Before they ask us to pay the bill
Before we are asked to pay for the things we have enjoyed,
And while we still have the chance
While we still have the opportunity to enjoy the moment,
Let's face the music and dance
Let us make the most of life and live in the present moment.
Soon
In the near future,
We'll be without the moon
We won't have the beautiful moonlight to guide us,
Humming a different tune
We will be experiencing a different reality than what we are currently experiencing,
And then
At that point in time,
There may be teardrops to shed
We may face difficult times that lead us to tears,
So while there's music and moonlight
While we still have the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the world,
And love and romance
And cherish the love and beauty in our lives,
Let's face the music and dance, dance
Let's embrace the good times and keep dancing through life.
Let's face the music
Let's confront the reality of our situation,
Let's face the music
Let's acknowledge and accept the challenges we face,
Let's face the music and dance
And let's keep dancing through life with joy and love in our hearts.
