Raised in the nuclear plains of Eastern Washington, Sue stole her sister's guitar (abandoned for boys) at 13 and started writing songs about getting out of town and living another life. After graduating from college, fighting forest fires  and getting some heartbreak in, she settled in Seattle and started doing some open mics. It was finally after seeing mutual friend Brandi Carlile play that she got the guts up to put a band together and make an EP. Then a full length CD  "Perfect Chaos". The single "Paper Tiger"from that cd was Runner Up for Song of the Year (Songoftheyear.com ).  From then on, Sue has performed at many of Seattle's most venerable music venues, such as the Tractor Tavern, Conor Byrnes,The Showbox, Sunset Tavern,The Crocodile and in several festivals and showcases including  SXSW, Viper Room,NYC's famed Bitter End, and a  showcase in Nashville. Sue also performed for 6000 Seattle Storm fans at center court, a definite career highlight!!

 The most recent album "Little Wildernesses",  was recorded with noted producer, Jonathan Plum at London Bridge studios (Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Brandy Carlile). Sue is working on new material and  excited to get these songs out in the world to do what they can do for the listener- that's the key for her, connection with the listener on emotions and issues we all share from time to time and how we grow from challenges  ( like pandemics) into who we're meant to be.
