Join triple Blues Music Award Winner Sue Foley for this One Guitar Woman album release show. Celebrating the pioneering women of guitar, Foley pays acoustic homage to a musical heritage populated by blues and finger picking guitar heroines like Memphis Minnie and Elizabeth Cotten, and other female prodigies such as the French classical guitarist Ida Presti and the multi-talented Andrés Segovia–trained guitarist known as Charo.
Sue Foley is a virtual triple threat as a lead guitarist, singer and songwriter. Foley spent her early childhood in Canada, mesmerized by her father’s guitar and started her professional career at sixteen. By twenty-one, she was living in Austin and recording for Antone’s—the esteemed blues label and historic nightclub that helped launch the career of Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Foley is a three time consecutive winner of the Blues Music Award for Traditional Blues Female Artist (Koko Taylor Award) in Memphis TN – 2023, 2022 and 2020. She was also recently honored with Guitarist of the Year and Blues Act of the Year at the 2023 Austin Music Awards, and the Lifetime Achievement/Blues with a Feeling Award at the 2024 Maple Blues Awards. Her album, Pinky’s Blues took home Best Traditional Blues Album at the 2022 Blues Music Awards. Sue Foley Live in Austin Vol. 1 (Oct. 2023) has continued to top the charts and Foley’s first solo acoustic album, One Guitar Woman - a tribute to the pioneering women of guitar, will be released March 29, 2024.
“Most impressive is Foley’s compelling voice, always expressive even with the amps turned up to10, but even more so here. She finds empathy with these women writers in her soulful interpretations of their lyrics” Hal Horowitz, Rock & Blues Muse
