"Sharrie Williams performances at the 2003 Pocono Blues Festival was incredible. She was at the top of my highlight list for this 3 day-3 stage National Blues Festival. Sharrie and her solid band, The Wiseguy's, were so well received that most of the customers came back several hours later for her second standing room only set." - Michael Cloeren. Director of Pocono Blues Festival (Pennsylvania, U.S.)
