Susan Salmon's passion for music began at age three, when she tried to pick out melodies on the piano keyboard she could barely reach. It is a passion that developed through her career as a professional musician, and years of performing, touring, and studying guitar, mandolin and violin. Now with the soon- to -be released Passion Works, this passion has been fully realized.
Recorded at the studio of producer Kit Worton, Passion Works Susan's mastery of the mandolin, supported by lush backing tracks of violin, Catherine Boyd, Suzanna Barnes and
acoustic guitar of Kit Worton and Michael Kraft. Susan is choosing only songs with which she feels a deep emotional connection. "I have always had a affinity for Latin and Italian music," Susan says of the preponderance of tangos and sambas."And the goal of the songs on this C.D. are to help the listener attain a certain mood--whether it's remembering an experience from the past or fantasizing about one in the now." It is this emotional resonance that gives the songs their immediacy, energy and yes, passion.
Sometimes as on "El Choclo," a restrained passion simmers beneath the surface. In other songs, such as the dynamic "Besame Mucho," Susan let's the sparks fly.
Susan's playing has been called"lyrical" and "evocative" by reviewers for the Atlantic City Weekly. With the release of Passion Works, listeners can hear for themselves. After all passion is meant to be shared.----------------------Susan began her professional career as a vocalist for the popular top 40 band "Ocean." performing in nightclubs at the Jersey shore. As guitarist/vocalist for the all-girl band, "Cheetah," she toured the east coast, from Florida--where she played the legendary Caddyshack nightclub in Fort Myers---- to the showrooms of Montreal. With Cheetah, she entertained American Troops in Turkey, Greece, Italy, Spain and Bah Rain for the DOD, and headlined at the Hersey Park Amphitheatre in Hershey Pa., as well as appearing regularly at The Seven Springs Ski Resort and SnowShoe Mountain Resort in West Virginia.
As lead guitarist in the popular top 40 band "Live Wire," Susan played venues all over the tri state, including the Trump's Taj Mahal and Trump Marina.
Susan has opened for the A's, Robert Hazard, Scandal and the Romantics and has been performed at such iconic Philadelphia venues as Khyber Pass and J.C. Dobbs. She has studied guitar with such noted masters as Joe Federico, Al Stouffer, Jimi Bruno, Billy Zappasodi, and Dave Strong. She has studied mandolin with Barry Mitterhoff and violin with the nationally- known DePue brothers, Wallace and Alex. She currently works as mandolinist with guitarist Michael Kraft and violinist Suzanna Barnes in the Kraft Trio, appearing at the Bacchanal in Caesar's Casino in Atlantic City.

After you've finished here, you may like to hear this folk-carol on myspace... Poem 230 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (see my blog for details): CHRISTMAS SUNG SIMPLY
As gospellers have said, Beneath signalling skies, On land dusty to tread, A trough in a stable Was the strawy first-bed Of a divine baby - The forgiving Godhead.
A season for new hope - There then and here now; The yuletide of goodwill - There then and here now.
In respect of this chance, Beneath bright or dark skies, Faith's the star that we glance Attending Christ's churches And trying to enhance, With singing and ritual, Our God-loving stance.
