Shari Puorto Band – new live album out soon

Little Lightning Productions is pleased to announce, The Shari Puorto Band’s new LIVE Album release, Live at Bogies.

American Blues/Rock/Roots singer, songwriter and performer Shari Puorto and her band will release their new Live album Live at Bogie’s – Q2, 2018. The new album will be supported by a nationwide tour, PR and radio program.

“Currently residing in Los Angeles, Shari Puorto is a soulful singer with a sexy and raspy sound. Like Joplin, Puorto is a passionate performer with an energy that can rattle the foam in a pint of Pilsner.” Kevin, PubClub Shari’s recording career launched in early 2000 and since then, the charismatic young singer-songwriter has earned a reputation as a powerful live performer and songwriter. Since 2005, Shari released a series of albums that have shown her diverse creative attitude consistently taking her in new and exciting musical directions. Live at Bogie’s is a project Shari has been wanting to release to her fans for many years. Shari’s studio releases are top-notch and are always true to her sound and ability. But they don’t compare to her live performances or capture the raw energy, emotion and passion you will see and hear at her shows. We believe this 11-song set “showcases” how Shari & her band hit you where it counts with her originals and chosen covers.

I’m constantly challenging myself both onstage and off stage because that’s how you grow and how you realize what works and what feels right!” Shari says. Shari is already working on songs (co writing with Barry Goldberg (The Rides), Don Randi (Wrecking Crew), John DePatie, Johnny Hawthorn and others) for her 5th Studio release to come out later in 2018 or early 2019.

Live at Bogie’s showcases Shari’s memorable originals like, It’s a Damn Shame, Home of the Blues, Outta My Mind, 6 Months Sober, Sugar Daddy, All About You, & All I Want is You, while also performing Shari’s (and her fans) favorites such as, Steve Winwood’s, ‘Can’t Find My Way Home’, Randy Newman’s ‘Guilty’, Savoy Brown’s ‘I’m Tired’ and Candi Stanton’s ‘Evidence’. These covers also demonstrate Shari and her bands interpretive skills.

“Recording in the studio is fun and I love the entire process!” Puorto says. “But there’s nothing like performing live. And when you form a connection with the band and the audience; nothing compares. “ Shari Puorto Band is a Blues/Rock/Roots Band with a whole lotta soul who have been touring together for many years. With notable nominations and awards under their belt they continue to electrify audiences from Coast to Coast and abroad. With Shari’s band, you will see and feel and band combining today’s Modern Blues/Rock with yesteryear’s traditional Blues, a little country and a little Blues/Funk. If you haven’t seen them yet, you must! It’s an experience you will not forget. Their connection with the audience and performance are infectious! Once you see their show you will understand why people are captivated and come back for more. “We know how to bring an audience together and allow them to feel something deep within their souls they never thought existed.” Shari says. Shari’s band consists of So-Cal’s finest and sought out musicians, John DePatie on guitar, Frank Scarpelli on bass, Mike Sauer on drums (and background vocals) and Jon Greathouse on keys (and background vocals).
