SUZIE BROWN might be a common name, but there’s nothing common about this rising talent. Having started writing songs in 2008, Brown has had an exceedingly quick rise to popularity, selling out popular venues and opening for the likes Livingston Taylor and Lyle Lovett. While media outlets have seized on her unusual bio - Brown is a cardiologist who has set aside a promising research career to focus on music - audiences and promoters have focused on her engaging performances and her intimate songs. The easy familiarity of her melodies harkens back to Carole King’s folk-pop creations, while the yearning sweetness in her voice recalls the down-home intimacy of Patty Griffin. Brown is currently touring in support of her EP, “Side Streets”.
