Join us on Saturday, May 25 at the Schenectady Civic Center for a variety show hosted by singer/songwriter and music educator Gail Sparlin featuring some of the finest talent in the Capital District and supporting local charities!PATRICK SHARROW (Singer/Songwriter)
Patrick Sharrow is a Nashville-based Roots Rock/Americana singer-songwriter. With over 14 years of experience as a performer, he has garnered quite the reputation in town for being a powerful frontman and lead vocalist whose skills and creativity on the guitar have made him a highly sought after session musician and a valuable commodity on the road. Born and raised in Upstate NY, Patrick cut his teeth at an early age performing in dive bars and beer halls throughout the northeast. As a multi-instrumentalist, Patrick has developed a unique songwriting style, drawing upon musical influences ranging from Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen and The Eagles to more contemporary icons such as Jason Isbell, Chris Stapleton and Ryan Adams. His songs explore the human condition and project the ideal blend of homegrown lyrical honesty with catchy, yet biting melodies. “Patrick Sharrow has long been heralded as one of the brightest young stars in Nashville” Says Iain McArthur (Rockfiend Publications) In 2020, after releasing his debut EP, ‘Closing Arguments’, he moved to Nashville, Tennessee, the recording capital of the world to pursue a career in music full time. “Originally from upstate New York, he’s been playing the Downtown bar scene and paying his dues as a session musician before finally getting his turn in the spotlight with this splendid debut album.”
JENNA SUE (Singer)
Jenna Sue was only 8 years old when she first discovered her love for country music. Despite being a bit shy, her grandfather encouraged her to take the stage and perform at senior citizen events and school plays. As she grew older, Jenna Sue continued pursuing her passion for country music by joining several bands and even touring with a Sixties Rock Experience production that visited various casinos in the New England area. After gaining valuable experience from performing with multiple bands, Jenna Sue decided to shift her focus towards solo shows. She averaged around 50-60 solo shows and performances per year and eventually landed opportunities to open for renowned national country artists like Maddie and Tae, Granger Smith, Ingrid Andress, Caylee Hammock, Runaway June, Randy Travis and Billy Gilman among others. Her talent earned her recognition as a nominee for Best Female Country Artist in the Northeast Region. With an already impressive resume filled with achievements and memorable moments, she continues chasing after her dreams. The sky is truly the limit for Jenna Sue.
