Sharon Ferrara has lived a full and wildly interesting life. From Long Island to Nashville — with many stops in Texas along the way — she's rubbed shoulders with the likes of Johnny Cash, backed David Allan Coe on tour, written an international hit and run sound for presidential inaugural balls. And that's not even the half of it. She's also still singing with a big band at age 79.

In this episode, Sharon takes us through some highlights of her winding career, including becoming the first woman in Nashville to own and operate her own sound production company, touring with young kids in tow and meeting the love of her life. 

Host: Demetria Kalodimos

Producers: Steve Haruch and Andrea Tudhope
