En directo en Space (Evanston): Susan Werner (Late)

Susan Werner doesnt just perform music she reinvents it every time she steps on stage. A virtuoso guitarist and pianist with a voice-trained musicians precision and a storytellers wit, Werner has spent more than two decades building a reputation as one of the most original and entertaining performers on the acoustic music scene. From elegant jazz-pop inspired by George Gershwin and Cole Porter to gospel, Cuban son, and New Orleans piano grooves, Werners catalog refuses to sit still. Whether shes crafting sharp, funny observations or deeply moving songs, her performances blend intelligence, humor, and jaw-dropping musicianship into an unforgettable live experience. A featured guest on Marian McPartlands Piano Jazz and composer/lyricist for Bull Durham, The Musical for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Werner continues to push boundaries with every project. Her latest recordings, The Birds of Florida and Halfway to Houston (2024), showcase an artist still exploring new territory and making it sound entirely her own.
