In 2009, a beautiful thing happened.  Jonny Kerr and Shari Dunn decided to play music together.  Not just any music but... music that they love.  They decided to choose songs that make them feel something.  The result - pure magic.  The soulful blend of these two voices created something very different.  Something neither of them had experienced before.  Something that every audience wanted or even needed to be a part of.  For almost 7 years now, they have been moving audiences at every turn.  At weddings, house parties, corporate events, fundraisers, festivals, bars and restaurants in Hamilton and the GTA.  They have released a Christmas CD and are soon to release their very first original CD. They are currently fundraising to complete their original CD to ensure it's release in Mar/April of 2016.  There is a donate button on some of the pages of this site that allow people to donate if they would like to help out.  Be sure to try and catch them at a show in the near future.  You won't regret it!

Jonny and I wish you peace, love and music for this holiday season.  It hasn't been an easy year for any of us, but we believe that there are better times ahead.  We have updated the website with some upcoming gigs in Port Dover and we are working on a few more.  We hope to see you over the next few weeks.  Hope you are all doing well.  We miss you so much. 

Shari & Jonny

Remember that our CD is still available to purchase Naughty & Nice!

As we face a very bleak winter without live music, Jonny and I just wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for your support.  These are tough times for many of us and feeling your love and support ... well that is what gets us through the tough times.  We can't wait to see you all again as soon as it is safe to do so.  Please continue to support the restaurants and live music venues that have been there for us for so many years.  They need us desperately right now.  We need them to be there when we reach the other side of all this.  Bundle up and hit a patio or take some food home for the family.  Buy gift cards.  Show them you care.  And for my fellow muscian ... you can help them by watching live shows online.  Buy merchandise.  Call or send a text to your people.  Be Kind.  Hang in there and we will see you all as soon as we are able. 

Peace  Love  Music 

Love Shari & Jonny

Stay tuned for some online shows 

Beloved is the best word to describe the duo of Shari & Jonny, two kindred soul singers who found their common voice thru divine necessity, the alchemy instantly good and forever etched in our collective minds. She, the seasoned stage pro and master of so many classics, and he, a young natural - phenom guitar player who either knew, or anticipated her ever nuance right from the get go. When it came time for him to sing, the recipe for beautiful music was complete, as the boy turned out to have quite the set of golden pipes himself.What followed was many performances and many hours under the lights, delighting the spoiled patrons of the city with their blue-eyed soul, R&B, roots and classic AOR cuts done with a special interplay that led so many to demand a record of their own - and so they did.Writing together was a new stretch, but sure enough, the words came to the lips and the fingers formed the chords on which those words rode, one after the other. Not always an easy affair, the songs produced bore witness to their creators easy harmony and all rejoiced.This early April Wednesday saw the two in genteel spirits and proud anticipation as they made their debut appearance on episode #226, finally being cornered and captured for our enjoyment - the result of course being your enjoyment as well.Sit right down, grab a beverage and enjoy yourself an hour of Shari & Jonny in the friendly confines of Barber Shop Podcast.”

After many years Jonny and I finally have our website up and running thanks to our good friend Mary Simon of Mississippi Bends (www.mississippibends.com)

We are so excited to finally have a place where we can showcase and sell our work, guide you to our shows and to connect with you about what we are doing.  Stay tuned as we create our website to reflect who we are  and what we hope to accomplish.

We hope to have our CD recorded by March 2016!!
