Lead guitarist and music director of the Gregg Allman Band from 2008 to 2017, Sharrard has been hailed as “the next Eric Clapton or Mike Bloomfield.” (Indianapolis Star Tribune) Sharrard's unforgettable farewell song, “My Only True Friend,” co-written with Allman, earned a 2018 GRAMMY nomination for Americana Song of the Year. Sharrard's first post-Allman solo album, Saving Grace, reflects their shared predilection for fusing blues, soul, jazz and folk.

Caffè Lena offers extraordinary music in an intimate venue steeped in history. It has been in continuous operation longer than any other folk club in the USA. First opened in 1960 in Saratoga Springs NY, the Caffè's early years were entwined with the social movements of that era. Emerging artists such as Bob Dylan, The Freedom Singers, Arlo Guthrie, Emmylou Harris and Don McLean took their turn on the stage, alongside esteemed veterans such as Clarence Ashley, Mississippi John Hurt, Skip James and Pete Seeger. The venue has been called “An American Treasure” by the Library of Congress, and has received recognition from the GRAMMY Foundation for it’s contribution to American music.
