{{subst:prod blp}}Sharon Knight is a San Francisco-based neopagan composer, singer, and multi-instrumentalist known for writing, recording, and performing Celtic fusion music she calls Neofolk Romantique.
[1] She also records and performs harder edged music with Middle Eastern themes as the front-person of the pagan rock[2]/folk metal[3] group Pandemonaeon.
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.
"[12] In her Celtic work, Knight is most often compared to Loreena McKennitt and Stevie Nicks,[13] although her early musical influences are Planxty, Steeleye Span, Pentangle, and Fairport Convention.
