Musician - Susan

• Age 49 | Musician | Alexandria, VA

I'm somewhat of a gypsy and have sung and played with a number of groups around the U.S. I first linked up with a band in the Boston area in the mid ’80s, Recycled Folk. I recorded three albums while a member of Hot Toddy, the premier Celtic and popular band in Denver. In Los Angeles’ South Bay I lead the classic rock band, Chamæleon, and most recently played with Ray Ban & the Shades (www.myspace.com/RayBanAndTheShades). In Albuquerque, I was with Celtic band Raggle Taggle Gypsies & a Celtic/pop duo, Gypsy Rovers. In Alexandria, VA, I was in the acoustic rock band King Street Trio until it fissioned in June 09. I sang with the Cambridge Madrigal Singers in Boston, with a madrigal group I co-founded in Tucson, and with several choirs/choruses. I've played solo gigs at pubs and coffee houses.
