Sharon Marie White "Help Me Fly"

Sharon grew up in the small town of Napinka, Manitoba, Canada and now resides in the

foothills of the Rocky Mountains west of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. At the age of 14 she

learned how to play the guitar and from that point she spent most weekends around s

outhern Manitoba and Saskatchewan playing gigs all over the provinces. This present day

music veteran is focused and constantly honing her songwriting skills in Country, Folk and

Blues Genres. Her lyrics are pure storytelling with melodies that move the listener to believe

that she is writing their story.

Sharon Marie White is excited to release her new single called Help Me Fly. This song was

written with many people in mind, who, although no longer with her...continue to be an

inspiration along her musical journey.

"Way Down South" is a heavy track, Blues with a Rock smoke. Johnny Ray Jones grew up in the LA blues music scene. Sam “Bluzman” Taylor, Johnny’s voice coach & mentor, traded him lessons for driving Sam to his shows & recording sessions. Percy Mayfield’s widow Tina Mayfield, Johnny’s godmother, booked Johnny Ray his first weekly blues shows at her club, Blues Unlimited. Johnny Ray has performed with Big Joe Turner, John Fogerty & LA’s beloved blues-rockers The Red Devils.
