Suzie Vinnick

I performed back in January 2008 with Jory Nash, Aengus Finnan and Buddy Mondlock for the folks at Freewheelin' Concerts and am looking forward to returning to do a solo show!

Freewheelin' Concerts has teamed up with the Carnegie Gallery in beautiful downtown Dundas to bring the best in acoustic roots music to the Vall...eytown. Tickets are $18adv/$20 at the door and are available at the gallery or at Bryan Prince Bookseller in Westdale.

Here's a little bio info for y'all:

A Saskatoon native living in Toronto, Suzie Vinnick is the owner of a gorgeous, powerful voice and performs with a sweet mixture of engaging candidness and unparalleled musicianship. She was nominated for a 2009 JUNO in the Roots & Traditional Album of the Year: Solo Category for her 3rd album, Happy Here, which was produced by Juno-Award winning singer/songwriter Stephen Fearing. Suzie also won the 2008 Canadian Maple Blues Female Vocalist of the Year and just won 1st place in the Blues Category of the Unisong International Songwriting Contest for her co-write "Sometimes I Think I Can Fly". She was nominated Female Vocalist and Bassist at the 2007 Canadian Maple Blues Awards, and was the recipient of three 2006 Canadian Maple Blues Awards for Female Vocalist, Bassist and shared Songwriter of the Year with Rick Fines for their 2006 release, Nothing Halfway.
