In the last year, Marshall has toured internationally as part of CAT POWER & THE MEMPHIS RHYTHM BAND, appearing on Austin City Limits, The Late Show with David Letterman and on the BBC's hit television show, Later...With Jools Holland.
influances range from Aretha Franklin, Joni Mitchell, Greg Dulli, Big Star, Lucinda Williams, Afghan Whigs, Ella Fitzgerald, Anna Moffo, Reba Russell, Steven Tyler, Ann Peebles, Dusty Springfield, Mavis Staples, Miles Davis, Rolling Stones, Cat Power, Tim Easton, Bette Midler, Rob Jungklas, Alvin Youngblood Hart, Beth Orton...and many more.
In a city of singing legends, from Elvis Presley and Otis Redding to Al Green and Aretha Franklin, Memphis vocalist Susan Marshall proudly holds her own, an award-winning paragon of hometown talent.
While she might not be a household name yet, anyone who has listened to Lenny Kravitz, the Afghan Whigs or Lynyrd Skynyrd has heard Marshall's impressive singing chops, a gift that never fails to stop people in their tracks.
"Where this woman has been hiding, I don't know," ran a comment on Rockphiles.com, while Rolling Stone made special mention of Marshall's performance at a Gram Parsons tribute that featured Norah Jones, Lucinda Williams and Keith Richards: "The spine-chill award went to Memphis soul singer Susan Marshall, who belted a powerful 'Do Right Woman' that practically brought people to their knees."
Marshall's resume now boasts studio and/or stage time with the likes of Lenny Kravitz, Norah Jones, Keith Richards, Primal Scream, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Mavis Staples, Greg Dulli and the Afghan Whigs, Mya, The Memphis Horns, The Doobie Brothers, Dionne Warwick, Jerry Butler, the North Mississippi Allstars, Alvin Youngblood Hart, Steve Earle, Ann Peebles, Jay Farrar, Jim James of My Morning Jacket, Adam Levy, Jim Lauderdale, Todd Snider, John Doe, Emerson Hart of Tonic, and many others. She's also worked with such legendary engineer/producers as Tom Dowd, Chips Moman, Jim Dickinson, John Hampton, Joe Hardy, Dusty Wakeman and Jeff Powell.
Whether it's rock, blues, soul or jazz, Marshall -- who won Best Female Vocalist in 2003 from the Grammy organization's Memphis chapter -- gets the call for a reason.
