The versatile, Sherie Rae (a.k.a. Sherie Rae Parker), look-alike sing-alike impersonator of Bette Midler, Janis Joplin and Ethel Merman performs on radio and television, in concerts and production shows worldwide.
She plays guitar and keyboards and has studied music in college and workshops. Her passion is writing and performing her own songs. Sherie began entertaining audiences as Janis Joplin in 1982. In 1983 she joined the original cast of Legends in Concert in Las Vegas. Variety has praised her voice, style, stage presence, vocal range and versatility: "...On stage, Sherie Rae displays the same energy, magnetism and exuberance of the stars, remarkable in her portrayals." "With each character, there are facets of their lives that I can identify with, but I've always felt especially close to Bette Midler," Sherie remarks. "I try to portray her with integrity. I have so much respect for her great talent and her wonderful perception of life and entertainment." She first performed her tribute to the famous star in 1990. She has the look, the "walk," the dances, the songs and the jokes that characterize the comedic Bette Midler. "I've learned a lot and I am still having a great time with Bette!" Much of her time is spent in recording studios singing jingles and original songs. She is happily married to Carroll "Beav" Parker, a talented
musician with credits of his own. Beav portrays the Beatles'
Ringo Starr in the popular
production show, "Twist and Shout."
