Event information

After a sold-out show at The Ginistry last year, Suzie Ungerleider returns.

Born in Northeastern US and raised in Western Canada, Suzie Ungerleider began performing under the name Oh Susanna in the mid-1990s, winning instant praise for striking voice and poetic songcraft. Suzie had been quietly working as a clerk at a Vancouver library when in 1996 she self-released a cassette tape of seven songs recorded for just $200, and found herself besieged by music industry executives and agents after performing a tiny set at a local club.

For over two decades, thousands of shows, and ten critically acclaimed albums, Suzie’s gloriously emotive, crystalline voice, her bewitching performances and her fierce song-writing have consistently captivated audiences, her peers and the press. She is the recipient of a Genie Award for Best Original Song and a Canadian Folk Music Award for English Songwriter of the Year. She has been nominated for three Juno Awards and four Canadian Folk Music Awards for Best Solo Performer, Best Contemporary Singer, and English Songwriter of the Year.

Suzie’s latest album, entitled 'My Name is Suzie Ungerleider', is her first release under her given name and was nominated for a Juno for Best Contemporary Roots Album of the Year.

"My Name Is Suzie Ungerleider is a sweet, wistful album. It tells a beautifully painted set of tales; rich in genuine and moving narratives. The album flirts with the sounds of Americana, including blues, country, and bluegrass but with a close eye on some nifty pop sensibilities and alt-folk." (Folk Radio UK)

"An impressive rebirth as Suzie Ungerleider, an album which repays several listens" (8/10, Americana UK)

Opening the evening will be Annie Dressner!

Annie's straightforward lyrical style, sharp ear for wordplay and crisp, lilting vocals offer listeners a front row seat to her stories. As heard on BBC Radio 2 & 6 Music, Dressner's music has drawn comparisons to an up-tempo Mazzy Star, an understated Jenny Lewis, Soccer Mommy & Phoebe Bridgers. Her duo album '48 hours' - made with David Ford - charted at #23 in the Official Folk Charts for the UK & Ireland in 2022.
