Artist Statement "To achieve great success; It requires effort, teamwork, belief, timing, talent and a lot of luck!" - Sharon Middendorf
Bio Lead singer, songwriter, guitarist, producer and formidable figure Sharon Middendorf stands at the helm of all that is Motorbaby. She is the kind of strong and powerful woman whose brainpower makes you a little uneasy in your own skin. Her mental presence is matched only by her talent to produce melodic guitar-oriented tales, some by which to freak out, some by which to sip tea. Sharon's magnetic personality and powerful performances are what drive the band and have earned Motorbaby their reputation as a superior act, both live and recorded.
Motorbaby is a band unlike any other because they throttle above and beyond the concept of a band. Since forming in 1994 Motorbaby have, in addition to a musical group, developed into a record company and a music publishing company called Ten Wings Music, as well as a web site motorbaby.com with music and merchandise sales.
The new Motorbaby CD, Rise, exemplifies the dynamic qualities that make Motorbaby unique. A stellar and long-awaited follow-up to Motorbaby's debut LP, Rise moves high and low from the soft and silvery title track to the churning "Submerged" and the spirited "So Surprised." Melding together as an emotional rollercoaster which swings the depths of despair and self-empowered highs, Rise accents Sharon's textural vocals, distorted six-strings and songwriting growth.
Guest producers and song-writers include producers Tony Visconti (David Bowie, T. Rex) and Godfrey Diamond (Lou Reed, Aerosmith), Eve Nelson (Sandra Bernhart, Heather Nova) as well as musician Kathy Valentine (The Go-Go's.) Rise was five years in the making and proves that great music can be found where there is hard work, persistence and passion. Rise is a remarkable addition to the Motorbaby chronicle, which never ceases to impress and surprise. For further information please visit www.motorbaby.com
