Concert by the Sarah Sharp Quintet at The Elephant Room in Austin, featuring her soft-spoken singing style and jazz-influenced instrumentations.
Sarah Sharp plays The Elephant Room on Thursday, July 30, with her quintet. It's a local Austin artist on a local stage, and the set is billed as the Sarah Sharp Quintet.
If you've come across her name but haven't caught her live, here's the gist: Sharp works with a soft-spoken singing style and quiet instrumentation. NPR's All Songs Considered noted that those two things keep her far from the lounge-singer stereotypes that often follow jazz-influenced performers. It's a sound that leans into the understated rather than the showy. Daniel Ramirez of Texas Lifestyle Magazine called her voice "intoxicating" and said it's been a mainstay long enough to cement her place among Austin's elite music-makers. The Elephant Room added that the room has been lucky to be part of all that.
This isn't a one-off appearance, either. The Sarah Sharp Quartet plays every Tuesday evening in the venue's basement, and there's no cover from Sunday to Wednesday. So if you're already a regular on Tuesday nights, this Thursday show is just another way to catch her in the same room. The difference here is the quintet—one more player on the bandstand than the quartet she brings in on Tuesdays.
