Little Feat guitarist and singer Scott Sharrard has unveiled his first-ever solo acoustic storytelling show, Endless Road Live: An acoustic journey through songs and stories of Gregg Allman, Little Feat & Beyond. The show’s concept is loosely based on Sharrard’s own Endless Road Substack, where he’s been writing and sharing essays reflecting his 30 years as a musician. “This is a chance for me to share a look behind the curtain and play the songs I wrote for, or with, Gregg Allman and Little Feat, and also tell everyone about all the different legends who have helped shape my career, like Hubert Sumlin and Levon Helm,” says Sharrard.

The limited trek comes just ahead of Sharrard and his Feat mates embarking on that iconic group’s “Last Farewell Tour.” Sharrard’s solo outings, slated to run through May at select eastern and southeastern U.S. clubs, include a special March 28th date in New Jersey with famed rock photographer Danny Clinch. “He’s a great blues harp player, so I’m hoping he comes by to sit in and chat a bit,” says Sharrard. Additionally, his May 1st New Orleans appearance is scheduled to feature some familiar guests, including Little Feat’s Fred Tackett and Marc Stone.

The inspiration for an acoustic solo tour, Sharrard says, crystallized after several times jamming with guitar genius Tommy Emmanuel. Combined with his Substack success and initial plans for an online teaching academy, Sharrard saw the threads of his music and media endeavors weaving together. “I’m always searching for new ways to tell not only my own story, but the story of how foundational American music is to the soul of our project as country,” says Sharrard. “I can’t wait to get out there and share it all live.”
