"To hear Sharon's music is to understand why she was put on this earth. It is to have your heart broken and mended in one tender movement. It is, in the words of Michael Ende, as if 'She thought of the music of the stars and the hour-lilies, and then, in a sweet, pure voice, she began to sing.' Or, as songstress Hope Sandoval laments: She's just like lightning. She goes right through you. Then you know you'll never be the same." - Bryna Ziobro
"What a fantastic night! Sharon was at her best - she played many of her classic songs, including 'Hallelujah', April Showers', Never Lets Me Sleep' and 'Lost Soul' performed as a poignant duet with Paul Chi. We are all eagerly anticipating Sharon's first solo album due out soon. Anyone who has never seen Sharon play, I urge you to. Likening Sharon's voice to that of an angel has almost become a Brightonian cliche, but I can offer no better analogy!" - John Wadsworth
"Often charming, usually soft, always sensitive, never predictable, sometimes stunning! Her songs are new, old and timeless. Her career is coming into summer blossom." - Paul Chi
"One of the most innovative and moving composers of the new millennium. Very delicately and deeply thought out arrangements. Complex ideas put across though use of simple words. Words often leave you questioning yourself into the night. The sort of music you'd buy, have in your record collection, but never put away because you're always playing it!" - Natasha Lea Jones
"Delicate, expressionistic tapestries." - Tony Evenson
"I've listened Sharon for many years, but I've never written a review so here it is: My first experiences of Sharon Lewis were at Healthy Concerts. She seems to have most of the emotions in her palette.Some songs so sensitive - 'Claire', 'It's Alright Now' - often tears would flow in the audience; and most songs just downright classics! Sharon is a true musician anyone with any sensitivity is sure to love this beautiful music." - Chris Kirkland
2 August, 2003 (Jill Phillips House): "Set in a very lovely living room within a gorgeous and evidently much-loved home, the environment somehow perfectly suited the gentle, charming and warm music of Sharon Lewis. I had very instantly warmed to the nature of this gig - this is what listening to music should be: intimate, slightly low-key, and enjoyed and thoroughly absorbed by an audience who obviously appreciates the beauty of music. There were a few crowd pleasers in the form of City Sick, The Car, and She Is a Rainbow (the latter two more than ably accompanied and complimented by Rose Polenzani), but Sharon Lewis proved that she is infinitely more than one half of the now defunct best band that ever existed, Pooka. With piano, acoustic guitar or just accapella, the songs sparkled with an absorbing radiance. New songs featured heavily as part of the set (personal highlights including You Heal Me and Alright Now), and certainly give weight to the fact that not only here is a wonderfully gifted singer, but also one with a terrific writing talent that seriously needs to be heard by the populace at large. The whole evening was quite remarkable. The second artist (on equal billing mind), Rose Polenzani was also remarkably great (as is her self-titled LP) and I urge you, the reader, to fly to her native Boston to try to catch her live. But for me, the night ultimately belonged to Sharon Lewis. I was devastatingly miserable after Pooka dissolved (I have this knack of discovering a band, only to have them split soon, or in this case 5 years later), and to see her performing what is quite frankly some of the most gorgeous material I have ever heard, makes me very cheerful. We're most excited to see some new recorded material soon. In the mean time, if ever you find yourself in Brighton, which in itself isn't an unpleasant experience, I urge you to see if Sharon is playing anywhere. It's a lovely, happy experience that I can't recommend enough, much like a 13.5 tog duvet, a purring cat and a mug of cocoa. " - david@redmoon.demon.co.uk
13 May, 2003: "This was an intimate concert as part of the Brighton Festival, a double-bill with Astrid Williamson of Goya Dress. Beforehand I was wondering whether the gig was going to be the launch for her long-awaited solo album, but it seems we'll have to wait a little longer yet, this was more a question of Sharon playing her current favorites, the songs she felt like playing, and all the sweeter for it. Sharon's an alchemist whose songs burn with a brittle white flame, so powerful and so pure. And her musicianship is so fine, and so detailed, listening to her that night I had the image of a humming bird in my mind, a bird beating its wings to a completely different frequency from all others."- Jack
"Delicate and thoughtful, her songs talk of love and life through sensitive vocals and playing. Although Sharon Lewis has a deeper sensitivity, Folk Artist Kathryn Williams would be the nearest comparison. Warm and soothing, this is music to comfort and restore you." - Lee Harris
