Tommy's #1 SHANIA TWAIN SuperSite Message Board

Canada’s own singing star Shari Lynn is making a special stop at the Huntsville Place Mall on July 17.

Shari Lynn has just released her debut album Can You Cut It? featuring her debut single Love Somebody and the new single You Don’t Know Jack. She will be at the mall from 5 to 7 p.m. for the chance to meet some of her devoted fans.

Growing up in a small town outside of Barrie, Shari Lynn’s passions included music, horses and playing cards. Over the years she was able to develop herself as a performer having started out in a tribute band travelling around Canada and the United States performing at casinos, bars, fairs and festivals.

In 2003, she was asked to join Shania Twain on stage at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto. She was later asked by CTV to co-host Canada AM with Twain.

After several years of working hard on a tribute act, Shari Lynn took a shot at branching out as an original artist. In 2004, she got her break when she was invited to showcase some of her original songs in South Carolina alongside Grand Ole Opry stars Ernie Ashworth and the legendary Charlie Louvin of The Louvin Brothers.

Can You Cut It? includes award-winning musicians John Dymond, Wendell Ferguson and Jorn Andersen as well as Randle Currie and Justin Williamson, who are currently on tour with Brad Paisley. The CD was recorded in Mississauga and Vancouver with overdubs recorded in Nashville.

Her past experiences with relationships helped inspire her to write many of the songs that are featured on the CD.

“I’ve lived through an emotional roller coaster when it comes to relationships and I wished that I had songs to help me cope with leaving the situation instead of hanging on and putting myself through hell,” she said. “I think a lot of people will relate to the music.”
