Welcome to Suzanne’s Rain. My mission is to share my music and lyrics with you, and highlight the work of other artists and poets whose aesthetic sense seems akin to mine. You can sign up for my newsletter, Suzanne’s Word, and look for recommended upcoming events in Suzanne’s Pick.

I am a lyricist as well as a vocalist, and as devoted to the spoken word as to song. I like to abandon ego, to let the music speak through me. You can’t want anything when you sing.

I have long worked with guitarist Loren Connors. I have also performed with overtones singer-sitarist-percussionist Neel Murgai, guitarist Andrew Burnes, multi-instrumentalist Daniel Carter, poet Yuko Otomo, violinist Laura Ortman and guitarist David Daniell. My recordings have been issued on Family Vineyard, Northern Spy, and Secretly Canadian.

Special thanks to photographer Simon P. Laurent for the stunning photographs he has allowed me to use for banner images on this page.
