Since the age of thirteen, when she first learned how
to play the guitar, the gutsy singer-songwriter
Sangsuree has been composing and performing songs to
captive and enamored audiences all along the west
coast. It began with impromptu performances in her
middle school locker room but eventually brought her
onstage to local festivals such as MusicfestNW,
Folklife and the Willamette Valley Folk Festival. Her
melodies are fresh, her lyrics intelligent and her
soulful voice can move from fierce to tender in a
brief moment. Her theater background and a
passion for telling the truth color her live
performances, which are always sexy, powerful and
humorous. Onstage, she has been honored to play
alongside musicians such as Styx, Alix Olson, Chris
Pureka, Toshi Reagon and Michael Glabicki (of Rusted
Root). Another highlight of her career was starring
in the indie feature film “Down and Out With the
Dolls” where she acted alongside Lemmy Kilmister (of
Motorhead) and Canada’s triphop artist Kinnie Starr. Check out the film's website: www.dolls-themovie.com
Born and raised in Portland, Sangsuree believes in the
power of art to make positive social change and is a
champion for supporting local, sustainable and
thriving communities. She has volunteered at
Portland’s Rock ‘N Roll Camp for Girls, taught
songwriting classes for youth, frequently plays at
Portland area farmer’s markets and understands the
value of supporting local talent. Her debut album “So
Much Has Bloomed”, recorded at Portland’s
Mississippi Studios, is available for purchase online at www.cdbaby.com and at her live
performances. For the next few months, she will be focusing on an exciting new project. She is starring in the independent feature film "Ruby by The River" which will showcase both her acting and musical talents. More details and photos at www.rubybytheriver.com
LOVE your new songs!! Your talent has always amazed me! Truly beautiful! Hope Portland is treating you well! It's been forever since I have seen you... hopefully our paths will cross again soon.. :) cheers friend :) ~Shell
i know times are tough for everyone, but please check this out, or if you dont want to stay and hangout, at least donate $5 to a good cause. the families of the guys that keep you safe every weekend while your out clubbing down town, are suffering from a horrible tsunami in american samoa. your $5 could help save a life!! please think about it. thank you for looking!
Hey travelin' lady! When you get back to town, you should give me a burned copy of all your songs and you will be played daily in the coffeeshop! :) Will be able to sell your cd's soon too! woohoo!
Oh my gosh girl! THank you SOO much! My friend Amani produced it and did the verse in the middle, and I wrote the intro. And my friend Ernesto played the instruments. On ONE of my trips down to LA I stopped in the bay and we did it in a couple hours, and then Amani sprinkled his magic on it. Thank you thank you! I'm so happy to share it and that you love it. It feels so good to be stepping into my flow.
I wish I could have been there girl! How did the release go??
Hope to see you at the Portland GoGirls March Meet Up tomorrow.
This month, we are hosting the event as an Open Mic. You don't have to be a GoGirls member to get up and play. If you are a member... come out and network and bring your friends too!
A piano is provided at the cafe. Just bring your acoustic guitar and your wonderful self!
And if you don't play an instrument, but you love live music... come to support some talented musicians and enjoy a cup of coffee!
