about

" Georgie Rogers, Tom Robinson and pretty much every local radio station across the country are falling over themselves with love for Sharon Lazibyrd right now."
Sam Bonham BBC Music Introducing

"This is quite simply put, gorgeous folk music...warms you like the sun on your face"
Fresh on the Net

"an eclectic selection of tunes, every one of which hits it’s mark...this is a debut album to be proud of" Angry Baby

Somerset based contemporary folk singer-songwriter and independent musician releases her eagerly anticipated debut solo album on 8th June. Sharon has made a great start as tracks from the album have been played on the BBC Introducing Mixtape and the title track was recently voted a Fresh Fave by Tom Robinson's Fresh on the Net and has been receiving BBC airplay across the nation too. Her songs have been played by over 50 radio shows and she was BBC Introducing Artist of the Week in Jan 2018 on BBC Georgey Tonight.

The album features a fantastic array of musicians including Damon Bridge, Kate Bridge, Tom Cory, Maaike Siegerist, Leandro Maia, Kent Sibley, Lukas Drinkwater, Damian Clarke and her dad Stan Martin. The title track Half Shame and Half Glory was inspired by a quote from Sir John Gielgud the actor and the song refers both to life’s journey and the ambiguities of musical performance. Sharon sings and plays violin, viola, ukulele and the cowbell on the album as well as writing, arranging and co- producing the songs with Charlotte Worthy Jarvis. The album was recorded at Orchard Recording Studios in Barton St David Somerset.

Sharon Lazibyrd is a talented, original and award winning singer- songwriter who writes striking and melodic songs. Her songs are influenced by musicals, music hall, and everything from Julian Cope to English folk. She was the songwriting force behind the duo Lazibyrd who released a critically acclaimed album Under the Sky in 2013. She has played the violin since childhood but it was receiving an ukulele for her birthday that ignited her passion for songwriting.
