"Many of us anxiously wait to hear a voice that resonates throughout our entire body. When listening to Shari Puorto sing, you can actually feel her voice. Yeah, she's that good. When Shari delivers a hard driving blues tune or a soft intimate ballet, you feel her passion ad message that the songs were meant to share." Neil Caplin - iJamar Magazine
