Scott Sharrard @ Roy's Hall

American music courses through Scott Sharrard’s heart and soul. From the farm to the church and the back porch to the roadhouse, Sharrard makes music that is rooted in the soil. His style combines that of rock & roll, rhythm & blues, country, folk, gospel, country and jazz, playing, collaborating, telling stories, connecting with fans in what he calls “my happy place.”

“I love being a mentor, a shepherd, a music director,” Sharrard says at his studio on Harlem’s West Side. “The concept of community is magical to me. The rest is just noise.”
