terrace cred. presents:
Suzie Ungerleider, American born, but completely steeped in a Canadian upbringing, back out on the road with a gorgeous, fresh album, declaring her true name, but also celebrating her earlier works which were recorded under the stage name Oh Susanna.
With a pure voice simultaneously wistful, joyous and melancholic, Suzie's songs feature lyrics that jab, tweak and tease the emotions whilst the melodies soothe and disturb. She has a very fine sense of storytelling that hasn't waned over the 20+ years since, as Oh Susanna, she brought her first, superb, couple of albums to The Greys - a truly classy Mike Lance find.
Though that character allowed her to develop and become a well established figure throughout Canada and way beyond, Suzie came to realise that the less savoury elements associated with that name did not fit the person she is, nor the breadth of her own music. So, Suzie ditched what might be seen as racist and demeaning and proudly dons her given name and, in so doing, embraces her true self.
After a showcase at AMAUK in 2019, where we spoke of bringing Suzie back to highlight a date at The Greys, here comes that long-delayed return to this intimate little venue.
Sarah Jane Scouten opens tonight. Four-time Canadian Folk Music Award nominee, her music delivers a signature mix of vintage folk and country music, with modern sounds and subjects. An ever expanding palette brings a freshness to her brand of ambient indie Americana -- or "space-country" as she likes to call it*. It's as relevant to today as it is rooted in the music of her forebears.
From British Columbia, now based in the hills of Scotland, Sarah Jane has toured throughout North America and Europe with considerable acclaim for her live shows and her four albums. A very welcome, complementary addition to the bill tonight.
You'll get no better doused in the soul of Canadian music than with this pairing tonight. Get your tkt quickly...

(*nb, category alert: terrace cred. is pigeon-hole averse and prefers to embrace music in as wide terms as is feasible, but is quite partial to the 'space-country' concept).
