Local songbird, Sharon Allen's musical path started in
Maryland, amongst a family of fireside musicians. The calling was in her blood,
and she found her way, dancing, singing, clogging, and picking to California,
where, for many years, she fronted a blues rock band, The Firebirds.
Working with B.B. King, Etta James, Robben Ford, Elvin Bishop, and
Lonnie Mack only honed Sharon's musical chops.
Fifteen years
ago, Allen found her writer's voice, an ongoing collaboration with Sherry
Austin, and a renewed appreciation of acoustic music. For several years she
co-fronted, with Sherry, the very popular Sherry Austin and Henhouse
group. For the last few years Sharon has been investing her musical efforts
with her own band, Sharon Allen and The Dusty Boots (Sharon vocals and
guitar; Mike Mongiello, guitar; Jerry Bradley, vocals and bass;
and Jimmy Norris, vocals and percussion). In this show Jim
Hannibal, saxophone, will join as a guest and Sharon promises to mix it up
with some folk, country, and toe-tapping blues!
