Sharp & Harkins - To Each His Own Acoustic Rock In front-men and founders Andy Sharp & Ryan Harkins, the SHB has formidable songwriters, guitar players, and vocalists able to deliver elements of rock, folk, and blues into their Indie style; Colin Schaeffer & Justin Barak provide the tight beats and grooves of the heart-pounding rhythm section. Mike “Mouse” Adams, the newest addition to the group, is one of the most talented blues harmonica players in the region. Drawing from the slide guitar riffs of Ben Harper and John Butler, the Sharp & Harkins Band delivers their innovative rock sound with “an insistent up-tempo back-beat, a funk-influenced bassist, and cool, whispered lyrics,” as proclaimed by the Badger Herald. As a testament to the quality and creativity of their sound, the band received multiple honors in the 2007 and 2008 Madison Area Music Awards, including Best Unique Song of the Year. The band has also played premiere festivals and venues across the Midwest, including Summerfest, the Mid-American Music Festival, La Crosse Riverfest, Bratfest, and the Southern Comfort Music Experience. Whether they are rocking Summerfest for a crowd of thousands, the Metro in Chicago for hundreds, or clubs with merely a few dozen patrons, the Sharp & Harkins Band perform their music with energy and vision.
