Described as "ethereal and irresistible,"2 "warm and soothing,"3 “radiates strength and conviction”... 4
“Her singing is sweetness combined with light. [The song]
‘Golden Cry’ is true poetry. She is one of the great new
and relatively unknown Canadian talents”5.
Many have simply described both her voice and her music
as truly unique - and decidedly Canadian. “When Sharon
sings you can’t help but listen!” 6
