Sharon McKnight

Sharon McKnight is an area folk musician with a long history of performances at festivals, concerts, coffeehouses and community events. For this concert, Sharon and friends will liven the stage with everything from ballads to bluegrass to a bit of sing-a-long. Moving to Indiana in the mid '80s sparked an interest in the historical context of traditional songs and influences of Appalachia, Bluegrass, Irish, and more. A self-described "singer-songfinder," Sharon does not focus on composing, but rather sharing the historical and contemporary ballads that speak to her in a meaningful way. She has produced two solo CDs, My Backyard and Factory Girl and founded the folk variety group, The Vagaband.
