Susan Werner
was raised in rural Iowa but began her professional
music career in Philadelphia, after studying classical
voice at Temple University. Inspired by a
Nanci Griffith
concert, Werner left behind her opera training and began
performing as a singer-songwriter at coffeehouses
throughout the northeast. She self-released her first
album "Midwestern Saturday Night" in 1992 and then went
on to put out "Live at Tin Angel" the following year.
For years she incorporated cabaret-style numbers in her
live performances, exchanging her guitar for a piano.
Fans and critics alike sang her praises for this album,
the All Music Guide, calling it "a brilliantly
constructed, soulful, and cleverly tender effort by a
songwriter and musician who is in such complete command
of her gifts that it's almost scary."
2007 brings the release of Werner's latest endeavor,
"The Gospel Truth," a collection of originals she
describes as "hymns for the spiritually ambivalent."
This project, surveys the wide variety of attitudes
toward the Church in America and incorporates styles
ranging from traditional bluegrass gospel to a hand
clapping rouser for agnostics entitled "Probably Not."
"Werner is one of the most innovative songwriters
working today." Howard Reich, chief critic of the
Chicago Tribune.
