An evening with Susie Brown & Scot Sax at Cafe No9

Event information

1970s-inspired folk-pop songwriter Suzie Brown has chased her unique muse for a decade, making modern-day roots music that nods to the soul singers, heartland rockers, and blues artists who came before her. Gluing the sound together is the unforced voice and honest, autobiographical songwriting of a Renaissance woman: musician, cardiologist and mother.

Her songs have earned recognition from the NewSong Music Competition, International Songwriting Competition, Independent Music Awards, People and Forbes Magazine. "I love everything about you, Suzie — you're wearing a lot of hats, and wearing them all well,"said broadcast journalist Gayle King during an episode of CBS This Morning that showcased Brown's unique balancing act between music, medicine, and motherhood. Brown turns that balancing act into music, rolling with the punches, adjusting to the changing times, and writing the ever-evolving soundtrack to her journey.

"Brown bares her soul in these songs, but she also sings for everyone as we try to navigate the world.... And she does it all with an easy vocal delivery over warm and pretty melodies." -Glide Magazine

"Bluesy, folky, achy, sweet-voiced Suzie Brown. A practicing cardiologist pursuing a career in singing (her own songs) and playing the guitar, she's part Emmylou Harris, part Allison Krauss, and totally worth seeing." -Philadelphia Magazine

Scot Sax’ multi-faceted career started with a bang when his song ‘I Walked’ became a radio hit with his band Wanderlust (RCA) in ‘95. It was the #1 most requested song on rock stations across the country. That year ended with Wanderlust opening for The Who. After signing a publishing deal with Warner/Chappell in Los Angeles, Sax went on to write and perform “I Am The Summertime” for the film American Pie (awarded a Gold Record) and form indie-darlings FEEL (Curb Records). In 2005 he co-wrote the Grammy-winning Faith Hill/Tim McGraw duet “Like We Never Loved At All”.
Upon hearing Scot’s song “What Gets In The Way”, Robert Plant, Alison Krauss and T-Bone Burnett asked he and singer Sharon Little to be their opening act for their Raising Sand Tour in 2007. Sax worked with Don Was in 2009 on Little’s 2nd album.
Scot taught a songwriting course at University of The Arts in Philadelphia for several semesters 2010/2011.
From there Sax went on to dive into another passion of his: film. He released the documentary Platinum Rush: a Film by a Songwriter starring Lisa Loeb, Ron Sexsmith and Oliver Wood. He also created onstage videos for Lucinda Williams “Car Wheels On A Gravel Road” tour.
