Courtyard Music SeriesSharaya MikaelFolk/IndieTuesday, October 26, 201012:30 p.m. - 1:30 p.m.Courtyard Stage(Student Center next to Food Court)A perfect match to her tender disposition, her lyrics are refreshingly sweet. The epitome of vulnerability, she speaks frankly to the complexities of relationships that no twenty-something-or anyone else for that matter-can escape. This artist is practical, accessible, but also delightfully fresh. As gentle as Carly Simon and bold as Aimee Mann, Sharaya has been compared by her fans to the contemporary artists Ingrid Michaelson and Sara Bareilles. This fair comparison speaks perhaps most vividly to the warmth of her melodies, to her rolling, sweeping musical stride. Sharaya’s latest single Far Field calls listeners-both musically and lyrically-to the roller-coaster of the lovesick, to memory’s involuntary ride. |
