Canadian singer/songwriter currently dividing her time between UK and Israel. If you love music by the likes of Jennifer Warnes, Karla Bonhoff and others, mixed with the lyrical sensibilities of a Leonard Cohen, this one is for you.
Shari Wilson Cole recorded 'Dancing On The Water In Tel Aviv' originally in 1992 and it was rescued from cassette and edited and re-arranged by John Perkins at InterMet Music just recently.
The resurrection of that dance track written 17 years ago awakened a talent that has been laid down over the years while raising her family. Now she has travelled to England to work on an album of new songs, co-written with producer John Perkins and her film maker Roger Toye. This musical journey is taking her far beyond the original influences of Madonna (clearly recognisable on that early track) into the world of poetic songwriting on strong subjects.
Shari was born in the Province of Nova Scotia, Canada, though never lived there. She attended elementary school in eastern Canada, grade seven to senior in the United States, graduating from Jay High School. Shari was referred to as Sherry, as she had not yet travelled to Israel, where she discovered the Hebrew spelling for her name.
Returning to Canada, she eventually married. She has three children, two older and one younger with whom she enjoys a special relationship. 'Indigo Blue' was written with her youngest in mind; 'Warrior Princess', with her two older children in mind.
With this new release begins a new chapter.
