Sharon Montgomery holds the office of Secretary/Treasurer of AFM Local 65-699 Houston TX, a position she began in January 2019. She first joined the AFM in 1986 (Local 802) and after years of performing on the road, transferred her membership to her home base of Houston in 1993. She served on the Executive Board of Local 65-699 before becoming its Secretary/Treasurer. Sharon is a vocalist with a background in Theatre Arts. She has maintained membership in the Actor’s Equity Association since 1981. During her long and varied career, she’s been fortunate to grace stages during the golden age of cabaret in notable venues- in Manhattan, the Café Carlyle and the Oak Room at the Algonquin Hotel; in California, the Venetian Room at the Fairmont in San Francisco, and the Hollywood Roosevelt in LA; in London, the Palm Court at the Ritz Hotel, Ronnie Scott’s, and the Royal Albert Hall; jazz festivals at Newport RI, Carnegie Hall, Rome, Nice, Sardinia, Torino, and the Hague—and countless others. Sharon currently freelances with some of Houston’s finest musicians. A true believer in union solidarity, she is unafraid to get vocal about it.
