Naomi will also be providing background vocals. Naomi is married and has two beautiful children. Naomi is currently teaching violin at Swallow Hill Music in Denver. |
 Kiki Petri |
Kiki caught the music vibe at an early age, surrounded by folk, blues and gospel gatherings around the microphone. She started playing piano at age 6, the flute at 10 and found her true love in a Martin gut string at age 16. She has studied music theory, but her real passion is writing and playing over someone who “needs a song”. At last count she has written over 85 songs and is currently producing multiple CDs. She is often found playing at coffee shops, pubs, art galleries, churches, private parties and even homeless shelters. Kiki believes the music is more than entertainment and that it can help people heal, fall in love, find God - turn a corner. She is married to her high school sweetheart and has three fantastic kids. Kiki plays guitar, keys and does background vocals with the band. She is also available for acoustic guitar and piano lessons in the Evergreen area. |
 Andrew Rabbio |
Born in Houston, Texas, Andrew started his musical career at the age of ten playing the piano. He soon took up the family tradition of percussion. There are three generations of percussionists in Andrew's family, so many say it is just in his blood! After learning how to play the drums, Andrew decided he needed more of a challenge, so he learned guitar, harmonica and bass. He started playing for the Sharla Jackson Band in 2009 at the young age of 16 but clearly has no trouble holding his own! Music is Andrew's passion in life, and that is evident when you see him on the stage. He has an amazing ear for music, and anyone who hears him considers it a gift. Although this talented musician has not even graduated from high school yet, he has accomplished great things. Andrew is a very quiet kid, but as he always says, "Music speaks louder than words." The Sharla Jackson Band is honored to have him as part of the team! |
