Sharon Allen and The Dusty Boots
PLEASE SUPPORT LIVE MUSIC AND THE VENUES PROVIDING IT!
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 and an ongoing collaboration with Sherry Austin, and a renewed appreciation of acoustic music. For several years she co-fronted 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!
“Sharon Allen is way up on the list of sweet- voiced singers…. unpretentious music that is beautiful and lasting”
