Azrieli Studio,1 Elgin Street,Ottawa,CanadaPrepare for a captivating musical journey with One Guitar Woman, Sue Foley’s new solo acoustic tribute to female pioneers of guitar. Foley’s much-anticipated album on Stony Plain Records was released on March 29, 2024, and she’s bringing it to the NAC.
One Guitar Woman is more than a tribute show. Foley doesn’t merely cover these artists’ songs; she absorbs their style and inhabits the soul of the music. Her guitar work is so deep and natural that it seems to rise from the same roots that gave birth to the originals, while her vibrant vocals bring new life to the lyrics and make the songs her own.
Esteemed music writer Hal Horowitz notes in Rock & Blues Muse, “The often spellbinding One Guitar Woman… is an enlightening look into her remarkable talents, filtered through the lens of a more intimate expression of the blues.”
Living Blues Magazine notes, it’s “…a lush, brilliantly performed salute to women who helped forge the history of the guitar.”
Sue Foley is an acclaimed guitarist, singer/songwriter and writer who began her professional career in her teens. She’s released thirteen albums and has garnered several awards, including Traditional Female Artist of the Year at The Blues Music Awards in Memphis four times.
Be prepared for a spectacular audio-visual event as the show will be featuring a custom and artistic video backdrop from Jordan Craig the entire show!
“I thought this custom One Guitar Woman video might be a perfect way to express what Sue was describing to me in her quest to bring songs and sentiments from the past through time and space into the present.” -- Jordan Craig
