Sherry Rich or Sherry Rich-Plant is an Australian alternative country singer-songwriter, guitarist and music teacher. She was born in Lismore, New South Wales but grew up on Bribie Island and Caboolture, just north of Brisbane, Queensland.

Whilst attending high school, Rich played bass guitar in a band, Obscure Alternatives (named after an album by United Kingdom pop outfit, Japan). The group included Rusty and Keith Urban. They performed at the Bribie Island Festival and also at the Caboolture State High School Social. During her tertiary education Rich (with Rusty), formed a Brisbane-based country, rockabilly outfit, Cactus Fever (1986-7). She then relocated to Melbourne in 1988 and as Sherry Valier on lead vocals, harmonica and rhythm guitar, she formed an all-girl garage rock band, Girl Monstar. After leaving Girl Monstar, Rich focused on her solo career and formed a backing band, the Grievous Angels. She then formed an indie pop duo, The Grapes, with Ashley Naylor. Rich then worked as a singer-songwriter in Nashville from 1998 to 2008. Rich returned to live in Melbourne in 2006 and restarted her solo career.
