We had a lovely time talking with Sarah Sharp about her latest album release “Déjà Vu” which includes so many great American Songbook favorites including single “Don’t Think Twice” (which you’ll hear on this episode). We talk about her experience growing up in a musical family, her residency at Austin’s The Elephant room every Thursday night, her experience as a sync licensed artist, and her pretending to be a bad singer when she does karaoke.
Sarah Sharp is an Austin-based jazz singer and songwriter whose signature sound fusesjazz, vintage pop, folk, and cinematic storytelling. Known for her warm, captivating vocals and poetic lyrics, Sharp has become a defining voice in Austin’s creative music scene, consistently named Austin’s Best Jazz performer. Sarah brings an unmistakable charisma to every stage, weaving together wit, elegance, and emotional depth.
The Houston-born and raised performer is a soulful songwriter and so much more. Shemasters Americana, Pop, and old-school country music while exploring other sounds and collaborations. And it's hard not to fall in love with her whole persona. As one reviewer wrote, she’s a little bit Tina Fey.
Sharp’s pedigree includes touring internationally with the Jitterbug Vipers, whose 2013self-produced album “Phoebe’s Dream,’ earned Top 5 placements in Austin MusicAwards categories for Best Female Vocalist, Producer, Songwriter, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Band of the Year, and Best Jazz Band. The record was added to more than 90 radio stations in the U.S. and Canada.
