Sharif's breadth of music is truly extensive, ranging from Classic Rock (Eagles, Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac) to 80's (Cars, Poison, Bon Jovi) to Modern Rock (Matchbox 20, John Mayer, David Gray) to Oldies (Carole King, James Taylor, Neil Sedaka) and even into the Hip Hop Realm (Justin Timberlake, Lady Gaga, Backstreet Boys). Aside from his list of over 1000 cover songs, Sharif has also recorded 4 original records, with musicians from bands like John Mayer, David Gray, Beck, Jason Mraz, Willie Nelson, Norah Jones and many others. Between touring schedules, Sharif plays weekly gigs in and around the DC area. All of the samples on this site were recorded live at one of Sharif's concerts.
