Both CDs will be for sale at this event.
In the 1970s, Susan sang and played bass with the pioneering feminist Chicago Womenʼs Liberation Rock Band and recorded with the New Haven Womenʼs Liberation Rock Band.
Susan has performed at the Michigan Womenʼs Music Festival, recorded and toured with Casse Culver, Willie Tyson, and Robin Flower.
