REVIEWS
The following are some of the things that have been written about Sharrie and here perfomances throughout the years.
“Sharrie Williams vibrant, gospel – drenched voice with interesting arrangements and splendid song writing… “Sharrie Williams clear and passionate delivery is absolutely compelling. The urgency, honesty, integrity and rich texture with which Williams belts out her deeply felt blues will surely earn her the respect she deserves among fans and critics alike. Record company executives, are you listening?”
— Leslie Ann Knight,
Blues in Britain
“I remember, it was three a.m at the 2001 Desden, Germany Blues Festival, Sharrie Williams and the band were still performing, and not any of the packed audience would leave – they were hypnotized by this dymic performer as she got them all in to a frenzy. It went on until 4am, and the house was still packed begging for more, I feel that Sharrie is one of the most powerful singers and entertainers, that I have seen in many, many years”
— Fred Reif,
Blues Promoter, Agent & Manager
“When Sharrie Williams starts singing the blues, it makes you proud to be from Saginaw and sorry for anyone who isn’t. It’s more than music, it’s an experience that sings to your soul.”
— Sue White,
Saginaw News
“Sharrie Williams and The Wiseguys did not put a foot wrong on their lengthy set. Strong and powerful numbers with some very original arrangements to some familiar tunes mixed with gospel, soul and blues and Sharrie’s very confident stage presence had one thinking of Shemekia Copeland. This Lady has bags of potential, that’s for sure…”
—Mike Stephenson
Belgium Rhythm’N’Blues Festival, Blues & RhythmUK Sept. 2003
“I don’t think Chicago ever knew what hit it. Williams stormed the stage…and the room exploded. From the first lines of here own ‘I’m a Real Woman’ she had control and she wasn’t going to give it up. The way this woman works a room must be experienced in person, and when she’s belting out tales of hard lives, lost loves, and the strength needed to get through the days, she isn’t just singing the Blues – She is the blues. It comes right out of her mouth and hits you where you live – in your soul…”
— Randy Chandler
In Performance
“Sharrie brings to a song a unique freshness, strong on the present with respect toward roots. She delivers her heat; whether it’s one of her many self penned originals or a standard, she brings you in by singing her inside out; hearing Sharrie is a pure delight, but seeing her perform will make you a true believer!”
— Tom Bert,
Grammy Award Photographer
