Local songbird, Sharon Allen, for many years fronted a local blues rock band, The Firebirds, working also with B.B. King, Etta James, Robben Ford, Elvin Bishop, and Lonnie Mack.Fifteen years or so ago Sharon found her writer's voice, an ongoing collaboration with Sherry Austin, and a renewed appreciation of acoustic folk and Americana 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, and Charlie Joe Wallace, steel guitar, will join as guests, as usual, and Sharon promises to mix it up with folk, countr, and toe-tapping blues.
Great to have Sharon back again for her now annual show (the 6th) at the Ugly Mug!
