Suzanne Savage Band

Arthurs Jazz n Blues Club presents... Saturday Arthur’s Special Showcaser...

Sass is the byword tonight, as Belfast’s charismatic vocalist, songwriter and violinist Suzanne Savage brings her Art Soul solo music to Arthurs for a special one-off Saturday night show with her killer band Feb 9th.

Described as ́one of Ireland ́s hidden music heroes ́ (BBC), performer Suzanne is a musical force to be reckoned with.

Awarded the N.Ireland Arts Council SIAP for work on her critically acclaimed solo album ́Jellymould’, her most recent project, The Savage Five, for voice and string 4tet, has recently recorded their evocative debut album “Sleepwalking.” It was nominated for the 2016 German Record Critics’ Awards (Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik), the ensemble touring Ireland in 2018.

In demand as a session vocalist for high profile acts across jazz, dance, singer-songwriter, choral, Irish and classical music; touring Europe and U.S. as Priniciple Soprano Soloist with Riverdance, to a scholarship at Italian FABRICA MUSICA institute, Suz has made music internationally, including with Paul Brady, Elenor McEvoy, Roseanne Cash, Van Morrison, Jimmy Cobb, Ernie Watts Quartet, Gary Husband and emerging talent such as David Lyttle (UK), Markus Strothmann (GER) and the Matteo Addabbo Organ Trio (IT).

Its all about the voice with this one. Fronting on guitar and violin, Suzanne will be joined by Dara O’Kelly on keys and organ, Dominic Mullan on drums and Damien Evans on bass. Expect some special guests & amazing support act and some shenanigans because well, it’s Saturday! Doors 8pm, €10 on door :)

reviews:

'One of Ireland's hidden music heroes'

Lisa Flavelle, BBC

'cool singer-songwriter... sublime violin playing... earning a respectable place near the modern soul of Jill Scott or Angie Stone. '

Stuart Bailie, BBC N.Ireland

'Probably one of the best voices out of N.Ireland in the past thirty years'

Jackie Flavelle, downtown radio

' A Case of How do you follow that?'

Helen Toland, Hot Press

́..recalls Kate Bush at her most florid..sassy cabaret to finger-clicking soul to deliciously macarbre creation with gothic undertones..this upbeat album aligns Suzanne with artists such as Camille O ́Sullivan and Julie Feeny ́

Irish Times

́I love this album - the voice, the arrangements, brilliant! ́

Paul Brady, Songwriter
