Hailing from Jacksonville, Florida, Sharon Cline is a vibrant young
vocalist who brings a unique and distinctive sense of jazz history to
her song styling. Her brilliant interpretation of standards, show tunes
and classic jazz ballads leave a lasting impression on her listeners
that is truly unforgettable! She is exciting, sexy, joyful and
mesmerizing. Sharon's style is reminiscent of a time gone by, yet is
distinctively contemporary.
Growing up in a very musical household, Sharon was influenced by the
great torch singers she heard playing on her mother's phonograph. All
day long, the sounds of Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughn, Ella Fitzgerald,
Nancy Wilson, Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole resounded throughout her
home. Sharon fell in love with the romantic melodies and lush harmonies
of this timeless American music. She longed to become a great
interpreter of the tender and dreamy lyrics of such renowned composers
as Ira Gershwin, Cole Porter and Jerome Kern.
From her first experience singing for a live audience, Sharon knew that
music was to be her life. At the tender age of twelve she appeared as
"Little Bo Peep" in her school production of "Babes in Toyland".
Everyone agreed that she was sensational! From that moment on Sharon
devoted her life to pursuing her dream. She studied diligently, and
soon performed in local musical theater productions such as "The King
and I", "West Side Story", "South Pacific", "Carousel", "Showboat",
"Ain't Misbehavin", "The Wiz" and "Hair". She was given her first break
as a jazz vocalist at age sixteen when she sang with the Jacksonville
Pops Orchestra. This appearance led to a series of concerts in which
Sharon performed with the orchestra at schools throughout northeastern
Florida.
While studying musical theater at the University of Florida Sharon
continued to broaden her horizons as a performer. She appeared as the
featured vocalist in revues that showcased the music of composers such
as George and Ira Gershwin, Jule Styne, Cole Porter and Irving Berlin.
After entertaining throughout the southeast, Sharon felt the urge to
"go west", and relocated to Los Angeles. She continues to be a
sought-after headlining performer at some of the most elegant rooms in
Tinsel Town, such as the Atlas Supper Club, Lunaria Jazz Lounge,
Spazio, The Cinegrill, Monsoon, The Beverly Hills Hotel, The Jonathan
Club and many others. Recently, world-renowned arranger and musical
director Buddy Bregman invited her to perform at the fabulous Paris
Hotel in Las Vegas. Since then she has been invited back to perform at
other notable Las Vegas venues such as the Blue Note and the Venetian
Hotel's WB Stage 16. In April 2003 Sharon dazzled Florida audiences
with her performance at the Jacksonville Jazz Festival, and shared the
bill with such legends as Nancy Wilson, Ramsey Lewis and Tony Bennett.
Sharon's extensive background in musical theater and concert
performance is unmistakably expressed through her elegant poise and
lighthearted humor. The Divine Ms. Cline invites her enchanted
listeners to join her on a magical journey through the captivating
history of the American songbook. Sharon's backup musicians
provide impeccable support that's refreshing, inventive and thoroughly
entertaining to music lovers of all ages. Based in Los Angeles, Ms. Cline is available on a limited basis for select special events nationwide.
