Short Bio
Sue played kids music in Colorado before moving to Memphis and then Arizona. Now she plays for grown ups (or is it grown up kids?). Her main instruments are ukulele and vocals, with the occasional tune on guitar. She plays originals, folk, covers, a little this and a little that. Since retiring she's criss crossed the country, played dozens of open mics, and joined in on acoustic jams wherever she could find them. She's enjoying living her best life, singing her songs, and occasionally touching hearts in the process.
