March Friday Night Live featuring Sharon McKnight and Company

The Art Museum of Greater Lafayette is excited to host a performance from Sharon McKnight and Company for Friday Night Live on March 29th!

Sharon McKnight is an area folk musician with a long history of performing at festivals, concerts, coffeehouses, and community events.  

Sharon found her voice at a young age, singing old standards in her childhood home and, following the folk music revival of the 1960s, performing in Minneapolis coffeehouses.  Moving to Indiana in the mid-80s sparked an interest in the historical context of traditional songs and opened doors to musical influences of Appalachia, Bluegrass, Irish, and more. A self-described 'singer-songwriter', Sharon focuses on collecting and sharing historical and contemporary ballads. 

She has produced two solo CDs, 'My Backyard' and 'Factory Girl', and founded the folk/variety group, The Vagaband, also producing a CD for the group. 

For this event, Sharon brings a Company of guest participants, including Mark Boyd, Jim Brehm, Becky Dunker, Linda Hicks, Allen Huff, Chad Miller, Brenda Moore, Allison Nyquist, and Noemi Ybarra. 

The performance will begin at 7:00 PM on March 29th at the Art Museum of Greater Lafayette, and doors will open at 6:00 PM.

Admission is free, thanks to our sponsor, Duke Energy!
