and to early Linda Ronstadt by 3rd Coast Music Magazine in Austin, Texas. She has opened for Madeliene Peyroux, Walter Salas Humara and Pete Seeger. This is Americana for people who keep The Byrds and
The Beatles next to Johnny Cash and Patsy Cline.
“She’s an elegant tunesmith, evocative lyricist...a subtly nuanced singer. Some of her songs were funny, like "Nicotine", her irresistibly amusing ode to the death-defying lure of tobacco.

We will miss our friend and collaborator Suzanne Davenport who recently passed away.
It was a good thing we had while we had it going! She was a great person with a big heart and great energy. We were blessed to have worked with her.
LATE BLOOMER

Gimme some sun, air and water, I've got nothing left to hide.

The lyrics to this song are a nod and wink to the Rolling Stones
and the Byrds.
