About
Suzanne Petersen is a singer-songwriter for hire in Newtown, VIC.
Suzanne Petersen writes songs that come out folk one minute, pop the next, blues and roots most of the time, with a jazz chanteuse turn thrown in. What holds them together is a subtle, expressive vocal and lyrics drawn from a life with its ups and downs. She sings and plays piano, and plays flute over guitar accompaniment when the brief calls for something soft and ambient, where Jobim tunes sit beautifully. Solo works, but she is happiest with players around her, and the band can go from soul and blues to full jazz with a drummer in the mix. Based at Newtown near Geelong. Insured. Needs a power board and somewhere under cover.
Watch
The show
Songs with something in them, and stories between the songs if the room wants to listen. Suzanne sings and plays piano, and where the brief is softer she moves to flute over guitar accompaniment. The Jobim material sits particularly well that way. So you can have a show with talking in it, or something quiet enough to hold a conversation over.
Performance options
Original songs are part of what she does: love songs, soul, blues and pop. If you want something written for the occasion rather than borrowed from someone else's record, that can be arranged for a wedding or any other event.
