Often compared to Jessie Mae Hemphill, Alabama blues singer/guitar player Shar-Baby’s good-time soulful blues gets the house rocking and feet stomping.
Shar-Baby first fell in love with the blues aged 6, after hearing a recording of Hubert Sumlin, Howlin' Wolf's legendary guitarist, and it became her dream to follow in his footsteps. She comes from a very musical family and her father was a gospel singer, who opened for many greats including Sam Cooke, the Dixie Hummingbirds, and the Blind Boys of Alabama. Music was in her bones from the beginning and she still plays the Harmony electric guitar her Dad bought her in the early 60's. She formed her first band as a teenager with her sister and they called themselves the Braylock Sisters. Over the years, Shar has traveled from North to South living and performing her upbeat blues.
