SUZIE BROWN – might be a common name, but there’s nothing common about this rising talent. Having started writing songs in June 2008, Brown has already taken the circuit in and around Philadelphia by storm, selling out popular area music venues such as the Tin Angel, and opening for the likes of Livingston Taylor and Lyle Lovett.
While media outlets have seized on her unusual bio — Brown is a practicing cardiologist who has set aside a promising research career to focus on music — audiences and promoters have focused on Brown’s engaging performances and her intimate songs. The easy familiarity of her melodies harkens back to Carole King’s folk-pop creations, while the yearning sweetness in her voice recalls the down-home intimacy of Patty Griffin. Brown’s songwriting is remarkably mature, combining subtle progressions with memorable turns of phrase, in the best tradition of Nashville-style songwriting.
This summer, Brown has reached new audiences with successful shows at Bethlehem Musikfest in Bethlehem, PA, Rockwood Music Hall in New York City, and Club Passim and Johnny D’s in Boston. She will continue touring this fall in support of her recently completed EP, Side Streets, produced by Ross Bellenoit at Turtle Studios in Philadelphia.
Hi Suzie! It's great to hear from you. I was just listening to your music the other day- often awake with Side Streets playing in my head. What a wonderful song!
I hope to see you soon! I'm playing at Buckets on the 19th but hope timing can work out to see you at Tin Angel before.

Suzie, it was great to see you at the Tin Angel on Wednesday. I am sooooo excited that you might be down to do some background vocals because we sure do need them live. Good luck with the NYC release! Head -> Heart -> NYC. Yay, Suzie Brown song reference accomplished. Send me your phone number so I can call you about business. Best Wishes, Nate Rylan
Thanks! I haven't gotten a chance to perform yet, mainly because I just started college and it's all new for me, but I'm always keeping an eye out for chances/places to play. I hear that's the best way to get recognition.
