Genre and Work
Sharon Knight's solo work has generally been classified as Celtic / New Age even though there are many more cross-cultural elements involved in her music. The same is true for her rock/folk metal band, Pandemonaeon, which due to its Middle Eastern and Goth influence, she describes as "music for bellydancers in combat boots." In her Celtic work, Sharon Knight is most often compared to Loreena McKennitt and Stevie Nicks, although her early musical influences are Planxty, Steeleye Span, Pentangle, and Fairport Convention.
Sharon co-writes & co-produces most of her music with her partner, Winter.

Famous quotes containing the words genre and/or work:
“We ignore thriller writers at our peril. Their genre is the political condition. They massage our dreams and magnify our nightmares. If it is true that we always need enemies, then we will always need writers of fiction to encode our fears and fantasies.”
—Daniel Easterman (b. 1949)
“The real risks for any artist are taken ... in pushing the work to the limits of what is possible, in the attempt to increase the sum of what it is possible to think. Books become good when they go to this edge and risk falling over it—when they endanger the artist by reason of what he has, or has not, artistically dared.”
—Salman Rushdie (b. 1947)
