ABOUT ISAIAH SHARKEY
From playing Chicago’s jazz clubs in his teens to winning a GRAMMY before he was 30, Sharkey is one of the most interesting and exciting guitar talents today. After honing his chops as a session guitarist for some of the most legendary names in music, including D'Angelo, John Mayer, Patti LaBelle, Boyz II Men, Raphael Saadiq, and Keith Urban, Sharkey has created a name for himself as a solo artist. His ability to bring together rock, jazz, gospel, blues and funk creates a unique and unforgettable sound.
His highly anticipated debut album, Love.Life.Live, was released in September 2017 and earned him the iHeart Radio Artist of the Month award for his single, "It's A Shame," featuring DJ Jazzy Jeff. His sophomore album, "Love is the Key: The Cancerian Theme" was released in June 2019 to critical acclaim.
ABOUT LISA BELLO
Lisa Bello is an award-winning R&B singer-songwriter who infuses her performances with the soul, swagger, and depth of feeling that make up the roots of this East Coast-bred artist’s singular style.
