Sharon Gesthalter | Promised Land

Sharon Gesthalter, a newly emerging singer songwriter, has recently released her debut album, Promised Land. The album, which consists of 12 original songs, was written and composed by Sharon Gesthalter during the past six years, following her along the route back and forth between her homes in Tel Aviv and New York City. The album conveys a sense of searching and longing for a place of comfort, a "Promised Land", expressed both in terms of personal identity, and more deeply – a place of solace and belonging. It also expresses the idea of finding music – or being found by music – which is a place of creation and quiet.Raised in the suburbs of New Jersey, Sharon grew up playing piano from the age of six. Growing up across the river from New York City, she was immersed in culture, music, dance and art, from a very young age. Her musical influences as a child were the classic sounds of America in the 1970s. Moving to Israel at the age of 14, to study at a boarding school in Sde Boker in the Negev, her link to the cultural hub of New York City was no longer physical, however, she continued to maintain an emotional attachment to the US, which was fulfilled with each visit and through music. When she reached her mid 30s, Sharon decided to acquire a piano for herself and reestablish a connection with her musical background. Seeking a personal outlet for expression, her goal was to return playing for her own enjoyment. However, she soon discovered the possibility of writing music and words of her own, which slowly grew to become a body of work ready for album production. Working alongside her musical producer Roy Dahan, who produced and arranged all the songs on the album, the two worked together for over two years to record and produce what would become Sharon's debut album, Promised Land. Sharon plays piano and sings on all the tracks.
