Best known for writing the CMA Song of the Year and smash hit for the Dixie Chicks “Wide Open Spaces”, Susan has released more than a half dozen CDs and traveled hundreds of thousands of miles taking her music to her many fans throughout the country. She’s out touring to support her latest CD “The Hard Stuff”.

Susan’s no stranger to Alamosa and the San Luis Valley, having recorded her EP “Remember Who You Are” with Don Richmond at Howlin’ Dog Recording just outside of Alamosa. She has also played Alamosa several times – in local house concerts, as a featured performer at Adams State, and previously at Society Hall, both solo and with the Red River Songwriters traveling show. She’s very much looking forward to reconnecting with her many fans in the area. Richmond will also join her on stage for the Society Hall show. Here are a few things that some folks around the country have said about Susan’s music.

“Susan has spent more than a decade crafting great songs that share (and usually exceed) the qualities that made “Wide Open Spaces” such a hit - authenticity, wit, and themes to which just about anyone with a heartbeat can relate.” - No Depression magazine.

“There’s the one single element that’s remained true and consistent throughout: her easy-going believability that cuts straight through pretentiousness or fraudulent emotions. It cuts to the core of the human experience. At times it’s bold and brave. At others, she’s incredibly honest with a glimpse of those insecurities, intimate details, and exposed feelings that we all encounter from time to time.” - New Slang Lubbock.
