Susan Werner

" 'Brings literacy and wit back to popular song'-- New Yorker " Chicagoan Susan Werner is a triple threat at folk awards ceremonies with her luxuriously smooth and strong voice (she's a former opera singer), riveting lyrics, and haunting melodies. "Werner writes songs so true, you'll never know if she lived them or just dreamed them up," says the San Diego Union Tribune . Susan can do it all! She's highly skilled on both piano and guitar, and her nine albums have ranged from hardcore folk to classic pop, humorous songs, and even a skeptical but sympathetic take on gospel on her recent "The Gospel Truth." Susan comes to The Ark with a new album, "Live at Passim," recorded at the legendary Club Passim in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Come and check out this guaranteed crowd-pleaser (and former Ann Arbor Folk Festival MC), and maybe we can snag her for her next live disc!
