The Sharpe Family Singers are an American family musical group from Basking Ridge, New Jersey.[1] The group has been described as a contemporary version of The Partridge Family[2] and has built a significant presence on social media, with over 2.71 million subscribers on YouTube[3] and 9.7 million followers on TikTok[4]. The group consists of parents Ron and Barbra Sharpe, along with their children Logan, Samantha, Aidan, and Connor.
Ron and Barbra Sharpe both have backgrounds in musical theater, having met while starring in the Broadway production of "Les Misérables".[5]
The Sharpe Family Singers initially gained attention through live performances, later expanding their audience through social media, where they regularly post both short and long-form content.
The Sharpe Family Singers have a main musical YouTube channel under the same name along with a second channel for posting vlogs and other non-musical content called "Sharpe Family Vlogs!".
History
Ron and Barbra Sharpe first met when performing in a Broadway production of Les Misérables, where they played the roles of Marius and Cosette, respectively. After becoming married on stage over 1000 times, Ron and Barbra decided to get married in real life and had four children together, Samantha, Logan, and twins Aidan and Connor.[5]
Apart from performing, Ron and Barbra have also produced two Broadway shows, A Catered Affair,[6] and A Tale of Two Cities.[7]
The Sharpe Family Singers started their professional musical journey in 2014 and toured globally, performing a combination of popular songs and theatrical music. Their show Married to Broadway, performed seasonally, launched in 2014 and originally featured Ron and Barbra Sharpe along with their friend Natalie Toro.[8] The show has since expanded to include their children as well as other friends and members of the Sharpes' extended family.
The Sharpe Family Singers were forced to stop touring when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, and turned to social media, where they earned millions of views on TikTok, as well as a guest appearance on the Tamron Hall Show[2] and other various local news outlets.[9]
Since then, the Sharpe Family Singers have gained 2.71 million subscribers and 2.07 billion views on YouTube,[3] as well as 9.7 million followers on TikTok.[4] The Sharpe Family Singers have since been invited to sing the national anthem at sports games, as well as performing three times in the 6abc Dunkin' Donuts Thanksgiving Day Parade,[10] and competing in America's Got Talent in 2023[9]
