"Former New Yorker Susanna Carman lives between Brisbane and Sydney these days, and her music takes up a similar in-between position straying from lilting folk to gentle country and low bubbling pop. It's a perfect spot for Carman's attractively relaxed voice, which touches on some real pain, lets you feel it without histrionics, then finds an optimistic route out each time..."
Bernard Zuel, The Sydney Morning Herald

With a voice of heart breaking purity, a way with lyrics that cuts to the bone and a warm, charismatic stage presence that makes her performance a joy, Susanna Carman is carving out her niche in Australia's Indie/Folk music scene.

She´s had a few rough years, as have those around her. Her cousin fell in the Twin Towers on 9/11, two years later her husband died suddenly, shortly after she lost her stepson to a brain tumour and last year her father slipped off this mortal coil.

Susanna’s current album Holy mines that vein of experience with ten poignant, quirky, unforgettable songs as she moves from grief and loss into bittersweet renewal and new love. "...Charming the listener with intelligent and truthful storytelling, this release shimmers and unassumingly approaches the listener with a complete lack of self-pity. Restrained, sharp and completely human, Holy is an album that can best be described as triumph in the face of sadness." David Fannon, Rave Magazine

Susanna now lives in Byron Bay where she´s very much part of the vibrant music scene. She holds a B.A. in Contemporary Music, has won the Dolphin Award for Best Female Vocalist, and is a multi-instrumentalist who plays the Irish fiddle, guitar and viola.

Holy follows her debut EP I Am The One, which received national radio attention. The ABC responded to I Am The One by commissioning her to write an original track for its compilation album, Highwire. But it’s Susanna’s live show that generates the most enthusiastic reviews.

Her storytelling is engaging and witty with songs that sneak up on you, ultimately claiming a permanent place in your heart.
