“Seattle acoustic artist, Susan Harper, plays a live show that is not to be missed! Earthy, soulful vocals and funky acoustic guitar work are enhanced with Susan’s catchy, insightful songcrafting.” DJ Michele Myers, KEXP Radio Seattle “A lot of the time, the best music is an outgrowth of the artist's ability to synthesize elements from different musical genres. Susan Harper has shown that she's good at this. She is first and foremost a rock artist, but borrows liberally from jazz and blues.” www.ectophile.com Susan Harper plays organic folk/rock with a soulful groove. Her debut release “Unpredictable” showcases the Seattle singer-songwriter’s charisma and stage presence. The songs on “Unpredictable” have a sincerity and sense of self. So much so that Susan jokes that she plays “self-help rock”. But the passion and push of these songs lies in her delivery. Her raw emotion is reminiscent of performers like Joni Mitchell, Grace Slick, Ani Difranco and KT Tunstall. This CD is full of surprises, moving from slow ballads to high energy mood enhancers. Susan counts Natalie Merchant, Heart, Annie Lennox, Peter Gabriel and Paul Simon among her many influences. She started writing songs in 1992, after moving to Seattle from eastern Washington. She dove into Seattle’s environmental and social justice movement, and entered the world of music and activism. She performs with a band or as a solo artist, playing her original songs.
