Sharon Helga Corr is a member of the Irish pop/rock/Celtic musical
group The Corrs. The other band members are her brother Jim and her
sisters Andrea and Caroline. The Corrs' parents were musicians who
strongly encouraged each of their children to pursue music. Sharon
began learning violin at age six. Between the ages of 7 and 14 she
played in the Redeemer Youth Orchestra of Country Louth.
The siblings first performed as a band when they auditioned to play in
the musical film
The Commitments (1991). The movie's musical director John Hughes saw
potential in the band and became their manager. Sharon plays violin in
the band and provides harmonizing vocals, backing up her sister, lead
singer Andrea Corr. Sharon often takes the lead in press interviews
with the band. The band's music shows strong influences from
traditional Celtic but also modern pop such as the Eagles and the
Carpenters.
In 1994 The Corrs landed a recording contract with producer David
Foster of Atlantic Records (USA). Their debut album was "Forgiven, Not
Forgotten" (1995), followed by "Talk on Corners" (1997), "In Blue"
(2000) and "Borrowed Heaven" (2004). To date they have sold some 30
million albums. The Corrs have performed on tour with musical acts U2,
Celine Dion, and the Rolling Stones. Mick Jagger has commented "They
blew us, the Stones, off our own stage". The Corrs have also appeared
on Saturday Night Live, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and have made
an MTV-sponsored "Unplugged" video.
Sharon put out her third studio album, The Fool and the Scorpion, produced by Larry Klein. Released 24th September 2021.
