Sue Fink: Damsel In Distress!

Welcome!

Latest and greatest news...

August, 2008... 
 
Radio:  Well, I just got home from a live performance on WDCB, the public radio station at College of DuPage in Illinois... Lilli Kuzma, host of the Tuesday night "Folk Festival" show, had me on as her guest... great fun!  She put me at ease, and I played three songs live, as well as answered her questions in mostly cohesive sentences... Thanks, Lilli! 

"Damsel In Distress" video: 
The shooting is completed, and now my friend Mary is editing... hopefully the video will be up on You-Tube -- and my web page -- sometime this month!  The whole shooting was more fun than most adults have these days -- legally, anyways.  All my friends who helped out -- the villain, the love interest, the "special cameo" appearance -- were exceptionally good sports as they fell (repeatedly), slayed imaginary dragons, etc. -- don't want to say too much or it'll spoil the surprises.  Damsel, the movie... (not) coming to a theater near you, soon... but coming to the Internet soon!

Recording:  I have started work on a new CD.  It's in the early stages right now, so not much to say at this point...

Performances:  I have been checking out some new venues, and am fortunate enough to have been included in several showcases this year... it's really fun to perform with friends new and old.  Please check my  Performances page for updates.

MySpace:  In addition to this website, please enjoy my MySpace page as well: 
http://myspace.com/chicagosuefink .  You do NOT have to BE a MySpace member to visit... and you can listen to the tunes I have posted there (some brand new tunes, too), as well as click on the links to my myspace friends and hear their music.  My most up-to-date schedule is usually found on that page... I'm also adding the occasional "blog" entry there... a fun place to visit when you have a little time.

"It's not you..." (Jenny, Sue D. & me @ Schubas)

* Podcast *

I am one of the featured singer/songwriters on Steve Meier's Chicago Songwriter's PodcastEpisode 1 was Terry MacNamara; Episode 2 was Jeanne T. Arrigo; and now I'm Episode 3.  Steve, also a Chicago singer/songwriter,  interviews us on the songwriting process.  You may be interested to learn how different the process can be for different people.  We each play several songs as well as discuss what works for us, our influences, etc.  Check it out!  Also, I've put links to many of the people I mention in the podcast...
