honed her talents singing and dancing in “Jardin des
Etoiles” at Montreal’s Expo.
In the early nineties she was an original cast member of
both the Montreal Bi-Lingual Company and the Canadian
National Touring Company of the mega-hit musical “Les

Shari has released several CD’s including “SECRETS”
and her latest CD is a collaboration with

“SULTRITUDE” where sultry meets attitude with strong
elements of Adult Contemporary and a touch of Smooth
Jazz.
She has made her home in Calgary since 1993 and is the
featured vocalist for “Prime Time Big Band”.
Shari’s love and passion for her art shine through in
her live performances and her recordings.
“I am constantly humbled by the wonderful musicians with
whom I am privileged to share a stage. I can’t find a
better phrase to describe the feeling that I get when I
really connect with my audience other than “pure joy”.
Thank you to all of my fans all around the world
for your constant love and support in my career. My
heart is truly touched by all of you. I am truly
blessed. |
