Ken Sharp's bio: "I've been playing guitar and writing songs since the late Seventies. Having played in a multitude of Pennsylvania based garage bands including Debut, me and my pal, Geoff Hanson on drums, High Tide and The Michael Paul band, I've had three CDs released, 1301 Highland Avenue, Happy Accidents and my latest, Sonic Crayons. I've also appeared on such albums as Yellow Pills: The Best Of American Power Pop Volume One, Right To Chews: Bubblegum Classics Revisited, Pure Pop For Cool People, Six Years Of Power Pop! and tribute albums for The Beach Boys and Raspberries. Also I've contributed instrumental music to documentaries on Led Zeppelin, Queen and The Knack plus a song of mine ("Underground") was used for Disney commercial. A kids commercial of all things...didn't know my target audience would be the under 5 crowd. "I even recently got a check from BMI, not a big one, but a check nonetheless for royalties accrued on two songs culled from my last CD ("Beautiful" and "Room For Two") which apparently are being spun on the radio in Finland. "I'm also a music writer who contributes articles to a variety of music magazines, contribute liner notes for various releases on everyone from Raspberries to Cheap Trick, Hall & Oates to KISS, Rick Springfield to The Partridge Family. I've also authored/co-authored over 10 music books including a book about Elvis Presley called Writing For The King, Overnight Sensation: The Story Of The Raspberries, KISS: Behind The Mask, Raspberries: TONIGHT!, Reputation Is A Fragile Thing: The Story Of Cheap Trick, Power Pop!, Meet The Beatles...Again, Quite Naturally: Small Faces and Eric Carmen: Marathon Man. Recently, I did all new interviews with David Cassidy and others for his new autobiography, Could It Be Forever." - http://www.myspace.com/kensharpmusic Read more on Last.fm.
