ISAIAH SHARKEY

About this event

Music / Jazz / Soul Jazz. Starts 8:00 PM. Isaiah SharkeyIsaiah Sharkey stands at the confluence of modern soul, jazz, R&B, and Black American guitar tradition, carrying forward a lineage that links George Benson, Curtis Mayfield, Wes Montgomery, and Jimi Hendrix while forging a vocabulary entirely his own. A Grammy Award--winning guitarist, vocalist, composer, and producer, Sharkey has become one of the most respected musicians of his generation---celebrated for his sophisticated harmonic sensibility, unmistakable tone, and ability to shape-shift effortlessly between musical worlds. Born and raised on Chicago's North Side in a deeply musical family, Sharkey was immersed from childhood in gospel, jazz, and classic R&B. His father, a working musician, recognized early his son's extraordinary ear and feel, guiding him through professional-level repertoire before most children his age would form basic chords. By the time he was 14, Sharkey was touring nationally; by his late teens, he had already become a first-call session player in Chicago's tight-knit recording community.
