SHARON
WESTLAKE has been performing professionally for many years on the Southern

traditional heartbreaker to a driving country-rocker, as shown on her current
CD "Global
Stagecoach". Hot off the heels of a string of "hits", Sharon
presents some sizzlin'.......new stuff, along with many of her radio favorites
in a complete package that draws attention to her undeniable talent. Released
January 11th, 2002 and now available on-line at www.cdbaby.com, songs
from this CD are being played worldwide, and response has been outstanding,
especially in Europe where Netherlands DJ Harry Boerman says "This lady
has it !!"
2001
chart ratings showed her riding high with her rendition of the Floyd Cramer
classic "Last Date".
Early
2000 saw Sharon storm up the charts with Steal Me A Heart, a toe-tapper written
by Nashville's Dan Fitzgerald, and backup vocals were provided by friend and
fellow artist Erica
Kildau.
