Based out of the entertainment capital of the world, Las Vegas comes singer/songwriter Ruth Ann Sharp. With her haunting, powerful vocals an audience can’t help but give attention to her striking, fresh sound. Often described reminiscent of Joan Baez, with a twist of Jewel or a sprinkle of Alanis she manages to release a sound only described as distinctively unique. Her music reaches into a listener through sincere lyrics and carefully thought melody pleading for understanding with songs ranging from the sweetest lullaby to deepest betrayal. In an entertainment world of over produced singers, Ruth brings new life to the simple elegance of an artful vocalist and combines it with solid acoustic guitar work to create her own passionate sound full of emotion.

In September 2004 she released a self produced album of original music titled “Little Miss Nowhere” consisting of her earliest compositions. With growing local support, she now enjoys sharing her music to eager audiences at many venues in Las Vegas and looks forward to national recognition which is just around the bend.
