Biography

SUZIE VINNICK - Live At Bluesville

Suzie Vinnick, winner of the 2012 CBC Saturday Night
Blues Great Canadian Blues Award had a busy 2012 with festival appearances at the Harrison Festival of the Arts
in British Columbia, the Canmore and Edmonton Folk
Festivals in Alberta, Summerfolk in Ontario and more. She
supported her new 2012 album entitled Live At
Bluesville, a collection of roots, blues and gospel tunes
featuring Suzie and her parlour guitar, Mabel.

Vinnick’s first solo acoustic blues album Me ‘n’ Mabel,
offered many opportunities, including numerous US and
international performances such as opening for John
Hammond at the Madison Square Park Conservancy in
New York City, performing in Germany at the Women in
(e) Motion Festival in Bremen, and being invited to record
in Washington, DC with Bill Wax, the Program Director of
B.B. King’s Bluesville at Sirius/XM Radio.

In early 2011 Suzie sent a copy of Me ‘n’ Mabel to Bill Wax
and the album ended up charting for seven weeks on B. B.
King’s Bluesville “Picks to Click” reaching number three.
This gave Suzie exposure to wider markets and very
positive feedback on Me ‘n’ Mabel from fans. In November
2011, as part of a two week tour in the US, Suzie and Mabel
spent a few hours recording at the Sirius/XM Radio studio
with Bill and his team. Suzie felt so good about the
recording session that she wanted to share it with her fans.

Live At Bluesville features Suzie and her parlour guitar,
Mabel, and will appeal to fans of her album Me ‘n’ Mabel
and her earlier, roots-music based album, Happy Here.

“One of my favorite singers.”
- Holger Petersen, CBC Saturday Night Blues

“One of the greatest voices in Canada!!”
- Elaine Overholt; vocal coach to Richard Gere, Queen Latifah,
Catherine Zeta-Jones

“Her solo work jumps genre barriers with the ease of an
Olympic hurdles champion...she's equally at home in folk,
blues, pop and country”
- Kerry Doole, Exclaim Magazine

“…combined with her amazing guitar chops, Vinnick is just a blue note or two away from turning into a legend. “
Music By the Bay Concert Series
