Susan Marshall

Soulful Tennessee-based singer/songwriter Susan Marshall began her music career like a traditional singer before learning to be a effective backup vocalist for famous brands Lenny Kravitz, the Afghan Whigs, Cat Power, and Lucinda Williams. Elevated in Memphis, Marshall spent her formative years bathing in the region’s wealthy musical legacy, honing her personal amazing pipes while hearing Otis Redding, Al Green, Mavis Staples, and Elvis Presley. She relocated to NEW YORK in her early twenties, where she spent six years using the off-Broadway rep organization Light Opera of Manhattan before shifting back again to Memphis where she co-founded and fronted the bluesy early-’90s retro-rock group mom Station. The music group released one recording (COMPLETELY NEW Bag) around the Warner Bros. satellite television label EastWest in 1994 and scored a radio strike with “Place the Blame on Me” before phoning it quits. Marshall released her debut single recording, Susan Marshall Is usually Honey Mouth area, in 2002, garnering both crucial and industrial acclaim. Released in 2005, Firefly discovered the powerhouse vocalist backed by way of a jazz combo, and 2009 noticed the discharge of Little Crimson, which featured looks from Greg Dulli (Afghan Whigs, Gutter Twins), Dan Lavery (Tonic, the Fray), Matt Pence (Centro-Matic), and Lucinda Williams.
