Come
hear these Berklee songwriters play the soundtrack to your life! A
powerful singer and sophisticated songwriter, Susan Cattaneo has seen
the darkness in the corners and sings about it fearlessly. Following
in the footsteps of Matraca Berg, Kim Richey, Lucinda Williams and
Gretchen Peters, this well-respected Boston artist combines vivid
storytelling with a modern songwriter’s spin. Call it New England
Americana with a twang. Respectful of tradition, but not bound by it,
Susan’s rootsy vibe blends rock, folk, soul and blues with a
healthy dose of country.
