Sharon Allen plus Jason
Lingo |
|
|
At 6 years old Sharon loved tap dancing and performed through her late teens. Her rhythm progressed right along with her singing harmonies with her guitar slinging older sister. Singing joined rhythm as Sharon grew up and moved west from Maryland . From her musician family to the Smoky Mountains and Colorado the "tiny woman with the big voice" performed in California on various stages, some shared with legends such as, Etta James and B.B. King. As performer joined the muses, Sherry Austin 's friendship in 2002 invited her to synergize all she is and all she does in her down-to-earth style. Sharon 's new CD Along The Way is a testament to her story. Her soul dances into the second half of her life retaining the purity of purpose and integrity of intent that is her music. Local Alt-Country Americana singer/songwriter Jason Lingo will be opening the show. Artist sites and sounds: www.sharon-allen.com and www.myspace.com/sharonallensongs and www.myspace.com/jasonlingo |

Corinne
West |
||
 |
Corinne West's voice
is both sweet and powerful - almost violently so sometimes. She combines the
richness of progressive folk with the backbone of hard country, and the
nostalgia of American roots music. Having been on the road since 15 - busking
on streets, performing in many varied ensembles - she is finally getting the
attention she deserves. Her first solo CD, Bound for the Living, got
rave reviews from Sing Out! and other magazines, and earned her a tour
of the UK when radio over there started playing it. Her next, Second
Sight, was 100% homespun and emotionally powerful. Her third, The
Promise, confirms her place amongst the best of America's
singer-songwriters. She will be backed by The Posse - a rotating
selection of expert pickers. www.corinnewest.com
