Cairns based band, Shari & The Mice have developed a significant following in Far North Queensland over the last few years. Their Rock sound with solid foundations in country and blues has earned them the respect of their fans and peers and their live shows leave the audience screaming for more.

Following the success of her award winning debut solo album Sunny which has been receiving both international and national airplay, Shari Williams joined forces with the Three Blind Mice to create one of the most dynamic live bands today.

No strangers to live performance, this four piece brings together Shari’s vocal talents, perfected in the live rock band scene in Sydney including solo performances at Sydney Opera House, together with Bass Player Brenton Thomas who toured with John Paul Young; Gordon Sheard on lead guitar who has played alongside Phil Emmanuel, and introducing Kieran Finlay who has trained under some of the best Jazz drummers Australia has to offer.

Since their formation in 2007 they have been asked to perform with some of the Australia’s finest country artists including; James Blundell, Adam Brand and Catherine Britt. Shari was asked to perform alongside Rob Black at the raffinatis café in Gympie, and as entertainment backstage at the Gympie Muster.

With a new album in the pipeline, the video for “Dusty Boots’ which won Qmusic’s best country song 2008 to hit CMC, live interview and performances on ABC radio FNQ and SeaFM Cairns, Shari and the boys are preparing for a very busy year ahead.
