What to expect

A totally fun experience from a California grown guitarist, singer songwriter. With songs like "Pet My Kitty" "Red Hot Mama" and "Got My Eye on You" you might start to get the idea that this long time, well seasoned band is out to please. From a jump blues, to a swing to a slow burning mambo, most of what Jill brings to the table is hot, seductive and unforgettable.

About

We are an international touring act, don't let the limits here fool you, we go much further than any 60 mile radius!!! Gig salad limits, silly Gig Salad.

Jill is originally from Southern California. She's been playing professionally for 30 years. We are a hard driving soulful blues/swing band. Jill writes all of her own material and tries to accommodate every type of musical taste. Though we are mainly a blues band, we do West coast swing, good ole swamp grooves and up happy swing dance tunes. We are fun, very professional and a great crowd pleaser. We are always on time, and are accepted by almost all musical tastes. Jill can stand up to anyone in the business. She is a strong guitarist and one of the most powerful vocalists today. She's played with some of the all times greats.

Here are just a few performers Jill has played with;
Candye Kane, Walter Trout, Laurie Morvan, Rosie Flores, Los Lobos, Kirk Fletcher, Sue Palmer, Danielle Schnebelen, Sugaray Rayford, Fred Kaplan, Tammy Diddley, Carlos Guitarlos, Jeff Ross, Mighty Mojo Prophets, White Boy James, JOE HOUSTON (toured as lead guitarist for many years), Marcy Levy, Floyd Dixon, and many many more.

Named "Peggy Lee of the Blues" by famed LA, DJ and harpist John "Juke" Logan, she can jump from sultry & sexy to a belting blues, song after song, night after night, year after year. Always known as underrated, Jill is one powerhouse to watch. "Sultry Voice & Smokin' Guitar" says Southland Blues Magazine. "This girl can sweet the honey out of each note played" Random Lengths magazine. "Jill is much too good for us undeserving souls" OC Weekly.

Hold on tight cause the ride is better than anything you'll find at Disneyland!!!! California beach girl just belting out the blues as if she was born in Mississippi. You'll love this act! Pet My Kitty, Red Hot Mama, Voodooman, just to name a few. Let us know if you'd like to book Miss Sharpe for your next show. We'd love to meet you and keep the music flowing.

All Music....All the time!

Cheers!
