Sharief in Burgundy

Sharief is a 21st century soul man par excellence. For this reason, one shouldn't confuse his art and craft with anything called "neo-soul" or any other trendy label. As Sharief himself has inquired, "Why does it have to be 'neo'? Why can't it just be Soul?" Sharief is a man that knows of what he speaks. You can tell where he's coming from in a heartbeat anytime you catch him in support mode on gigs for artists as diverse as Chocolate Genius and Vivian Gree, holding it down with his guitar slinging, bass thumping, vocalizing and harmonizing.
