Now with the globe-trotting behind her the industrious Ms. Hendrix is planning her solo career launch and working with producer, Dan Voss Jr. creating new music for a future multi-genre album. That album will include some rock and pop, some blues and jazz and even a little bit of country as well her latest single, “FRAZZELMATIC” the retro-summertime fun track being introduced through a colorful and entertaining new video.
“FRAZZELMATIC” features a talented group of veteran musicians, a supporting band she plans to tour with this coming fall and winter. Sharon’s smooth vocal style slides in, out and over a contemporary beat spiced with exciting percussion, a classic horn section and a funky and infectious guitar groove. It's her homage to Top 40 radio, vinyl records and pop culture movie images reminiscent of a “Groovy, baby” time and place.
