Tue 20th VPMG presents OH SUSANNA + Guests
Doors 7.30 Short stories deliver brief but indelible journeys. A single mouthful of sublime textures, or a window cracked; fresh and sparkling images peeking through. 'Short Stories' is also the title of Oh Susanna's latest release, an intimate series of portraits and journeys that echo the haunting sound of her debut EP. 'Short Stories' is a dramatic and compelling collection of songs inspired by both the lives of people in Oh Susanna’s family and by those recorded in 20th Century American writing. It shares personal fables of heroes and antiheroes as if through the lens of a documentary film. 'Short Stories' will seduce new listeners and reward the returning. For those who have traveled with her from one album touchstone to the next, there is both continuity and surprise. Literary and cinematic as much as musical, 'Short Stories' has a natural beauty that both entertains and gives the listener room to roam. Over the last 10 years, Oh Susanna has garnered critical acclaim and loyal audiences around the world with 'Oh Susanna' (2003), 'Sleepy Little Sailor' (2001), 'Johnstown' (1999), and 'EP' (1997). She grew up a Canadian with an American passport, staring at the ocean, mountains and railroad tracks through sheets of rain. She sought refuge with song under burnt-out warehouses and in darkened clubs with the promise of guitar twang and a lonesome cry. Along the way she found inspiration in the music of the likes of Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen, as well as peers Jim Bryson, Sarah Harmer, Neko Case, Ron Sexsmith, Fred Eaglesmith, Eliza Gilkyson, Patti Griffin, and Iris Dement. |
