Sue Foley

This highly touted vocalist/guitarist originally comes from Ottawa, Canada, although her home base shifted to Austin, TX, when she signed with Antone’s Records and cut her debut set, Teen Girl Blues, in 1992 (an encore, With out a Warning, quickly followed). Foley’s wicked business lead electric guitar makes her a rarity among blueswomen. When she was a kid in Ottawa, Foley paid attention to rock and roll & move and blues-rock groupings like the Moving Rocks. Although these rings sowed the seed products of her love for the blues, her like for the music didn’t blossom until she observed James Natural cotton in concert when she was 15 years of age. Cotton motivated Foley to get the guitar. During her past due teenagers and early twenties, she jammed with regional Ottawa bar rings. She didn’t type her very own group until she transferred to Vancouver in the middle-’80s. Foley delivered a demonstration tape of herself to Antone’s Information in 1990. Impressed, the label organized an audition for the guitarist. Sue shifted to Austin and quickly signed a documenting agreement with Antone’s. In 1992, her debut recording, Adolescent Girl Blues, premiered. It had been acclaimed by several blues publications. 2 yrs later on she released her second recording, Without a Caution. It was accompanied by Big Town Blues in 1995. Following efforts consist of 1996’s A Walk in sunlight, 1998’s Ten Times in November, and 2000’s Like Comin’ Down and Back again to the Blues. Where in fact the Action Is made an appearance in 2002 on Shanachie Information. Foley then turned to Ruf Information for her following two albums, 2004’s Modification and 2006’s New CAR OR TRUCK.
