Welcome!

Latest and greatest news...

"On Tour"!   

Hullo everyone... happy still-summer...

To quote myself, "time is a steer that I cannot rope."  Hard to believe it's mid-August already!  This has been a wonderful year thus far, including opening for Megon McDonough at Evanston SPACE... participating at Folk Alliance International in Memphis (Feb. - click here for pictures)... playing in Wisconsin (Sturgeon Bay, Madison, Appleton, and Green Bay)... as well as many other wonderful Chicago venues, farmers markets, and benefits. 

Now I'm preparing to go on tour through Michigan w/my very talented friend Patti Ecker!    Between gig-dates, we're visiting my amazing friend Noah Zacharin (aka "Springsteen" -- see Photos page!).   I feel like... "Patti and Sue's Big Adventure"!  It's our first tour together, and our first through Michigan... we are very psyched.  Please visit my Performance page for the full schedule - and if you're in Michigan, hope to see you at one of our shows!

Welcome to my 10/25/09 CD Release Show!

**NEW!!**  From 10/25/09 CD Release Show, w/"Bruce Springsteen"! (well, kind of...):
The video is pretty dark, it's manipulated somewhat but... still, you'll get an idea of the amazing fun of that evening, as I call out to "Springsteen," and he and I perform together!
