Sharp’s new album was recorded in the studio of local guitar legend Eric Johnson, who offered her the space after being mesmerized by one of her performances. The album was recorded and mixed by Kelly Donnelly and features Mitch Watkins (Leonard Cohen, Lyle Lovett, Joe Ely, Jerry Jeff Walker) on guitar, Sean Giddings (Pat Green, Christopher Cross) on piano, John Fremgen (Christopher Cross, Butch Miles, Shelly Berg, Kat Edmonson) on bass, Masumi Jones (Bruce Robison, Slim Richey) on drums and Oliver Steck (Bob Schneider, Slai Cleaves) on piano, accordion and cornet. Sharp describes her band as quintessential jazz musicians.
