Bio 

Wayne Sharer is a soprano saxophonist who put down the saxophone after college to serve as a leader in naval aviation. After surviving the struggles of 23 years of service and over 200 combat missions including being a squadron commanding officer, his wife “directed” him to start playing sax again. This is just a beginning and his new found passion for music. Look for more to come as Wayne.
