Singer/ Song Writer

Growing up in Lincoln, Nebraska, Shari has always been a country girl at heart with a love of animals, Big Red football, Classic Rock/Blues, and summertime fireflies. 😍 From an early age she developed a passion for singing and the theatre arts and that passion would take her to California to pursue her artistic dreams. Rather than landing in Hollywood, however, she would settle in San Jose where she would soon meet her husband, Vince, and put her artistic ambitions on hold for awhile to raise four very athletic sons! ⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️
Shari treasures watching her sons pursue their Big League dreams! And when she isn’t traveling the world watching baseball games, she is spending her time fostering her love and knowledge of God’s word and diving back into her artistic roots with a renewed passion to learn piano and guitar and write worship music for the church. She also feels led to write songs that speak truth into a generation being robbed of their peace and security in this troubled world!
Shari’s past experience includes the incredible opportunities to record with the Contemporary Christian music & Gospel greats, Fred Hammond and Israel Houghton. She was also blessed to collaborate with the extremely talented Christian rapper, T-Bone, who is featured on one of her songs, “We Praise You”, that was released with the faith-based movie “I’m in Love With a Church Girl” in 2013. An original version of that song, produced by Tim Anderson of Werewolf Heart Records, will be released with a few other oldies but goodies this fall on her very first ever EP. Just prior to that release will be the release her new single, "Beautiful Love"! Shari recently joined a collaborative music studio in San Jose called, Platnum 33, where she is excited to be working on new original songs with a host of talented artists and musicians. She has also been blessed to be involved in worship ministry for 20+ years and calls Evergreen Valley Church in San Jose her church home.
Shari’s style of music sits mostly in a Soulful/Pop Worship & Country Gospel range. A couple of her current favorite worship songs are “Thank you Jesus for The Blood” by Charity Gayle and "Tremble" by Lauren Daigle. Two other favs are"There Was Jesus"
by Zach Williams & Dolly Parton, and "Devil" by Anne Wilson.
Her hope is that this new season of songwriting will reflect a pouring out of God’s promises and faithfulness in her life and speak to the hearts of all people. Her prayer is that her music will be encouraging and uplifting as she learns to listen more for the voice of God and less to the noise of the world.
Zeph 3:17 NIV says “the Lord your God is with you, the mighty warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in His love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.”
What a amazing thing it is to know that the God of All Creation not only sees us but desires to sing over us! Amen…let it be so!!
One fun or what some may call quirky fact about Shari is she talks to ALL living things...yes, especially birds. Not scared to own her crazy! 😜
