~For Your GRAMMY® Consideration~
BEST ROCK ALBUM
"BEYOND WONDERLAND"
With a unique style all her own, the best way to try to describe this work is modern-day Heart, Benetar, Evanescence meets Adele kind of rock album with all the feels. Never drawing inspiration from stereotypical themes, recycled poeticisms or commercial pandering and no apologies.
Filling the void in a genre built on raw emotion. "Sharon can take you from delicate moment to full-scale fall-on-your knees emotionally gripping without ever letting you fall." (music review)
It's Raw, Open, Authentic, Real melodic rock meant to make you feel something and share our stories in a way that makes the listener feel the songs were written for them.
Everyone has a journey, and we all have a chance to not stay broken. Some make strides by making music...

The illusion of "Wonderland" is complex.
What does it mean to each of us?
Two years in the making and deeply inspired.
"Beyond Wonderland" carves out a collective story about the human experience. From the places we go in our hearts to the places we go in our anger or in our pain...
