Annual event to feature the return of Sharrie Williams to Marquette.

The Marquette Area Blues Society is presenting their annual Dog Days of Winter Blues Bash on Friday, February 19, 2010. The concert will feature a long-time regional favorite, Sharrie Williams and her high-energy funk-blues stage show. The show will be held at The Mix nightclub (formerly the Matrixx) located at 145 West Washington Street in downtown Marquette immediately after the start of the UP 200 sled dog race. The show will start at 8:30pm eastern time and the cover charge is $5.00.

Sharrie has a unique style that is surrounded by strong and powerful vocals and arrangements, with songs that grab your soul. Sharrie touches souls with her talent and passion for her music, combined with her smoky, sexy and imitable style she always leaves her audience calling for one more song. She emerges with grace as a humble and rock solid professional, a talented songstress that stands on her own.

Larry Letts, events chair for the Marquette Area Blues Society, says the concert continues the tradition by the blues society of hosting a special event in conjunction with the downtown Marquette start of the UPSDA UP200 and gives folks a chance to stick around after the start of the race to take in a night of world-class entertainment. Letts adds our group wanted to bring back Sharrie Williams to Marquette because she gives such a high-energy show and on what is usually a cold night in Marquette, we wanted to heat things up!
