Returning with their award-winning Americana folk fusion, The Susie Glaze New Folk Ensemble is bringing a brand new and exciting show this year, “Diamonds in the Rough: Great Songs by Great Songwriters.” Featuring true hidden gems from some of the best Americana songwriters in the world, including Steve Earle, John Prine, Linda Thompson, Gillian Welch, Iris Dement, Lucinda Williams, and Bob Dylan, this show promises to be a revelation in songs of heartbreak, humor and inspiration. Also featuring “American Songbook” classics from the band’s jazz-inspired release “Do You Have This in Blue,” and the band’s own originals from songwriter Rob Carlson, this show delivers a powerfully varied and eclectic sound.
Named the BEST NEW FOLK artist by LA Weekly in May of 2019! Award-winning vocalist Susie Glaze, mandolinist Steve Rankin, fiddler Mark Indictor and bassist Fred Sanders are The Susie Glaze New Folk Ensemble, the newest version of the acclaimed Los Angeles-based Americana group, a lush new folk Americana fusion ensemble, presenting gorgeous eclectic blends of mountain folk and exciting new grassy and Celtic-inspired originals, all with the remarkable voice of Susie Glaze. The group has been likened to the classic British bands Pentangle and Fairport Convention in that they blend classic folk music with rough-edged stories of tragedy and fate, all with orchestral arrangements sounding like chamber music gone folk! The band has appeared at many premier venues and festivals on the West Coast, including Berkeley’s Freight & Salvage, The Broad Stage, and the Hollywood Bowl among others. Their CD “White Swan” was released in March of 2013 to critical acclaim from No Depression, FolkWorks, Pop Matters, M Magazine for Musicians, Music News Nashville and FolkWords UK among others, and charted in the Top 50 on the Roots Music Report’s Combined Internet and Terrestrial Folk Chart.
Susie Glaze appears as a guest artist on the Compass Records tribute album “Dear Jean – Artists Celebrate Jean Ritchie” alongside such artists as Judy Collins, Pete Seeger, Janis Ian, Tim O’Brien, John McCutcheon, Robin and Linda Williams and many more.
“If there were a word to describe this fine band, it would be sophisticated. They draw influences from disparate sources to meld their sound. The level of musicianship is exemplary.… display a great range of prowess and work as a tight unit.”
- Bluegrass Unlimited.
“…one of the finest and most original Americana groups in California (or in the country for that matter).”
