Sharon Jones is a jazz singer based in Portsmouth, N.H.

With fall in the air, it's time for our Summer Music Series to come to an end.

All season long, we've been bringing you artists making music right here in the Granite State, and this week we're closing our series with Sharon Jones, a jazz singer based in Portsmouth.

Growing up in a musical household, Jones started singing from a young age. More than 57 years later, she's still performing. Jones sat down with All Things Considered host Peter Biello to talk about her music, and the emotion she puts behind every performance.

Peter Biello is the host of All Things Considered and Writers on a New England Stage at New Hampshire Public Radio. He has served as a producer/announcer/host of Weekend Edition Saturday at Vermont Public Radio and as a reporter/host of Morning Edition at WHQR in Wilmington, North Carolina.
As the host of All Things Considered, I work to hold those in power accountable and elevate the voices of Granite Staters who are changemakers in their community, and make New Hampshire the unique state it is. What questions do you have about the people who call New Hampshire home?
