Sue Foley is considered to be one of the finest blues/roots artists working today. Born to a working class family Sue spent her early childhood moving from Canadian town to town with her mother. At 16 she embarked on her professional career. By 21 she was living in Austin TX and recording for legendary blues label Antone’s Records. Her first CD “Young Girl Blues” quickly established her unique talents as a blues guitarist and songwriter. Throughout the 90’s she took to the road with her paisley Telecaster and honed her craft working/sharing the stage with such artists as BB King, Buddy Guy, Lucinda Williams and Tom Petty. After moving back to Canada Sue won the prestigious Juno award for her critically acclaimed CD “Love Coming Down.”
Since 2001 Foley has been conducting interviews with the worlds finest female guitar players including Bonnie Raitt, Nancy Wilson, Rory Block and Sharon Isbin for her book, Guitar Woman. The book’s release is scheduled for late 2011 or early 2012. (see www.guitarwoman.com).
Sue’s upcoming musical project is a collaboration with critically acclaimed US singer/songwriter Peter Karp. The CD titled “He Said-She Said, the Letters” is due out in the winter of 2010.
Hey there Sue, the new tunes are sounding great; I dig Mediterranean Breakfast, very cool. Back at Antones, that must have been a trip. Hope you and yours are well. L~SB
Your show at Antone's on Friday was an absolute knockout! Dueling with Cindy Cashdollar is not an enviable position to be in but you held your own and then some. Welcome back and congratulations. Dale
