About this act
One vision of a song, going out through two hands and one voice at the same time. That's the whole idea with Sharon Davis: solo piano or keyboard and vocals, mostly jazz standards with a few other songs thrown in to keep it interesting. She learned on a hundred-year-old Steinway, trained at the WA Academy of Performing Arts, and has played stages in Melbourne, Perth, Istanbul and Tokyo. The set suits ceremonies, restaurants, cocktail bars, anywhere the music should sit under the conversation rather than over it. She'll play a venue's acoustic piano if it's been tuned in the last month, otherwise she brings a digital one. Larger line-ups are possible too, up to a quartet with drums, guitar and sax.
