  • Bio

    Süss sounds like Joni Mitchell and Tori Amos ate pineapple for brunch and went on a wild bike ride doing imitations of Ricky Lee Jones and Laurie Anderson. Süss's sweet voice accommodates storytelling, hymns of the reformation, jazz, and folk balladry with an edge. But don't be fooled. Süss lays bitterness and naivete wide open. Süss released her CD i just ride my bike in November of 2007 that she co-produced with juno award winning producer Dan Donahue. Süss is a bandleader as well as a solo performer. She has conceived of and produced several fantastic projects where she led the house band: from live singing drag kings to the Winnipeg PRIDE Circus cabaret 2005, the International Drag King Extravaganza 7 live performance brunch in Winnipeg, the 2006 Winnipeg PRIDE cabaret - Inside the Emerald City where she played the wizard, Dorothy, and Marian the Librarian, as well as "She who searches for Kitten Tongue", and led a nonette (9-piece band) at the vintage Park Theatre. Süss has hosted several Womens Day Cabarets, including events for International Women's Day and Femfest (Sarasavati Productions)

    Suss has become a bandleader in her own right, so when you see that Suss is playing, you'll be curious to know whether she's playing with a trio, a quintet, solo, or with a 9 piece band. members in the past have included on bass MJ Dandeneau Meg Dolovitch Sean Garrity (not embarassed to be called a filmmaker in the same breath as bassist, unlike Billy Bob Thorton) Gilles Fournier members on drums Daniel ROA Jaime Carrassco TODD TALBOT Brendon Kinley guitarists Sunny Breaks Ron Tomasson Katie Murphy [also vox, misc. percussion] flutes Mandy Lee Fraser Chuck McClelland also on sax and also on sax and clarinet Jonathan Stevens. on viola Kristjana Oleson background vocalists Gina Williams Vanessa Kuzina and more
  • Influences

    i grew up on songs of the reformation, "air on a g string", ivan rebroff, and symphonic sounds, but my first albums with drums that i heard were Sheena Easton, Thriller, early Bruce Cockburn, Harlequin, Kansas, Lionel Richie and early U2. i love JONI MITCHELL, sufjan stevens, laurie anderson, Issa (Jane Siberry), standup bass [Michel Donato, Paul Chambers, MJ Dandeneau], imogen heap, Ben Charest (les Triplettes de Belleville), the Funk Brothers, Lyndell Montgomery, JOAN ARMATRADING, Pamela Means and Vince Guaraldi. I love that Brad Mehldau covers Radiohead. STEVIE WONDER has created some very very fantastic songs. BILL EVANS was a magician. rest his soul. Veda Hille. Sting. Christine Fellows. yeah. ani difranco
