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 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.)

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. .. ..
