Susan Cattaneo & The Big Loud Band with special guest Cosy Sheridan

Susan Cattaneo & The Big Loud Band

Susan Cattaneo is one of Bostons most respected songwriters and a 2018 Nominee for Best Americana Act of the Year at the Boston Music Awards. A powerful singer and sophisticated writer, Susan combines vivid storytelling with a modern songwriters spin. Susan blends rock, folk and blues with a healthy dose of country. Call it New England Americana with a twang. Her latest album The Hammer and The Heart charted #1 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart and yielded a #1 song on folk radio and a top 10 album of 2017.

The Big Loud Band assembles some of Boston's best musicians: Jamie Walker on electric guitar and vocals, Michael Bean on pedal steel, lap steel, dobro, guitar and vocals, Renee Dupuis on keyboards and vocals, Richard Gates on bass and Andrew Jones on drums.

She has also been a Falcon Ridge Emerging artist and a finalist or winner at some of the countrys most prestigious songwriting and music contests, including the Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk, the Independent Music Awards, the Philadelphia Songwriters Project and the Mid-Atlantic Song Cotenst. This fall, she performed and won the 2018 Connecticut Folk Festival.

Cosy Sheridan

Cosy Sheridan first appeared on the national folk scene in 1992 when she won the songwriting contests at The Kerrville Folk Festival and The Telluride Bluegrass Festival. The Boston Globe wrote: she is now being called one of the best new singer/songwriters.

She has been on the road ever since, playing clubs, concert halls and coffeehouses across the country. You can't make it into double digits, and continue touring for twenty or so years, unless you know what you're doing, and do it well, said The Chicago Examiner.

She continues to be one of the most prolific songwriters in the folk scene. My Fence & My Neighbor was number four on the folk radio charts in 2018. Pretty Bird was was listed in Sing Out Magazines Great CDs of 2014.

She was a voice student at Berklee College of Music, and a guitar student of legendary finger style players Eric Schoenberg and Guy Van Duser. She has played at Carnegie Hall, The Cowgirl Hall of Fame and on the Jerry Lewis Telethon.

Backed by the strong rhythms and harmonies of her bass player Charlie Koch, she plays a percussive bluesy guitar style, often in open tunings and occasionally with two capos on the guitar neck.

She teaches classes in songwriting, performance and guitar at workshops and adult music camps across the country. She is the director of Moab Folk Camp in Moab, Utah.
