She has performed locally in many of Seattle’s favorite iconic venues and has curated and performed in the ”Great Women of Country and Folk” series hosted by The Royal Room. Sue is working towards recording new material this year, performing and curating her mini- women’s music fest in West Seattle, MuseFest and building community through music and connection with the listener on emotions and issues we all share.
