16 Feb 2011 Shari Ulrich is a lady and a great performer. A little world weary has added dimensions of sadness to the fire of youth but she remains very much in control of where her emotions take her. And it all ends up in great music. It seems her music allows her to explore emotional intelligence coherently, articulately and very personally. Two great events and a great audience both nights. Thank-you Shari and thanks to all who braved the wild winds and rain to make both evenings very much alive.
