About Sharrie Williams
Sharrie Williams was brought up on music. Her entire family,
from her little brother to her grandmother, used to sing jazz and
gospel. For as long as she can remember, her family home used to be
filled with music. She had a passion for the blues and with her
band The Wise Guys she performed regularly in the blues clubs of
Chicago. With the CD Hard Drivin' Woman she made a name for herself
on the blues scene; this yielded her many invitations to perform at
blues festivals. With her powerful, smoky voice, Williams has
developed a unique blues style that incorporates both her gospel
roots and a rock sound. This can be heard on her new record I'm
Here to Stay, with which she establishes herself as an
extraordinary blues talent. Sharrie Williams is nominated in the
category Traditional Blues Female Artist Of The Year!
