About Vendor 

Learn more about this vendor for your event.

* “Line up all the female jazz vocalists you can think of and Sharon Rae North can sing them all under the table.” Jay Edwards, DJ WCLK-FM, Atlanta, GA * "Sassy, sensual, soulful and spectacular…Nina Simone with a little bit of Della and Ella tossed in for color." DJ Carmen Brown of 98.3 WDLT-FM, Mobile, AL * “No matter what you do on the outside, you're a singer on the inside.” Frances North, Sharon's Mom Sharon Rae North is a talented songstress, whether she's singing jazz (straight-ahead, contemporary, smooth, etc.) and standards or her jazzed up, danceable versions of R&B, Rock and Top 40 hits. Her voice is just a good singing "My Funny Valentine" as it is singing "Rolling in the Deep". She often performs with corporate/wedding bands, complete with choreographed dance steps; and she performs her own shows singing jazz. One stop shopping!! Sharon sounds just as good live as she does in the studio. She puts on a fabulous performance and has opened for many national acts, including Joe Sample and the Jazz Crusaders, Patti LaBelle. She has shared the stage with Chaka Khan, Lalah Hathaway, Stanley Clark, Boney James, Chuck Mangione, Norman Brown, Poncho Sanchez, Marcus Johnson, Bob Baldwin and many others. She has performed at venues throughout the U.S., including the famed Georgia Aquarium, Ritz Carlton Reynolds Plantation (where country star Carrie Underwood married), Isaac Haye's Restaurant in Memphis, Twins Jazz in D.C., James River Cellars in Richmond, VA, Bayfest in Mobile, AL, Fridays at Sunset and Jazz at Maymont in Richmond, VA, Durham Summer Music Series in NC. She has been invited to perform at Jazz in Lapidariz in Croatia, CJW in Shanghai and countless other venues Sharon Rae North does not disappoint. No matter the venue or occasion, she and her seasoned musicians take an already good event over the top!

Review by Tracy W.

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on July 17, 2015From Richmond, VA

Ms. Sharon Rae North and the "band" were a great addition to the "60th" birthday festivities. The guests enjoyed the sound of the band and Sharon's voice blew us away. The entertainment crew were very professional in manner and a pleasure to have. I did not want the party to end. I loved here from the very first sight and sound at a prior performance and when I found her on Gigmaster; I had to have her entertain my guests. Keep up the good work Sharon and thank you for having a great voice.

Valentine's Day PartyReviewed on February 17, 2015From Fairfax, VA

Sharon Rae North and her band were wonderful! Set up for our event started at 4pm. When we arrived at 4. The band was already warming up. It demonstrated their professionalism and integrity. The music for our event was amazing! It really set the tone and our guests were so impressed and happy. I personally was told many times how great the band sounded and agreed fully! Our group was very diverse and it speaks volumes that everyone only had great things to say. Sharon herself, was gracious and professional and I would recommend her and her band for any event. Thank you for making our event memorable!

Private PartyReviewed on January 13, 2015From Waynesboro, VA

Sharon was extremely professional and responsive. This event was for a opening of a new venue and I could not have made a better selection than Sharon Rae North. The entire band was a asset to the event . Everyone there loved her music and we will definitely have her return again later this spring.If you need a jazz band I would highly recommend Sharon. She was great to work with.A real jazz phenom.
