Sharna Pax

delivers razor-sharp lyrics about the nature of existence, ambitions achieved and lost, what's in our control and what isn't, and the toxic influence of tribalism on our lives. Its debut LP, The Way We Live Now, couches that informed cynicism with a tint of cautious optimism. The band features some of Cincinnati’s finest musicians, including songwriter, guitarist, and vocalist Peter Obermark, lead guitarist George Cunningham, bassist Dave Ramos, lead vocalist and guitarist Hallie Menkhaus, and drummer Mike Tittel. Together, they’ve infused this collection of highly-literate songs with adventurous, mercurial rock, pop, and roots arrangements, full of engaging twists and turns.
