#4123: Norwegian Vocalist Susanna and Friends, from Big Ears 2018
From the 2018 Big Ears Festival, listen to a bewitching set of covers and originals from Norwegian singer Susanna, recorded at the historic Bijou Theatre. The magical Susanna, (whose full name is Susanna Wallumrød) was joined by Swiss harpist Giovanna Pessi, accordion player Frode Haltli, and Kentucky based multi-instrumentalist Cheyenne Mize, as the set covered American blues guitarist Elizabeth Cotton, English Baroque composer Henry Purcell, and songwriters Leonard Cohen and Nick Drake. The arrangements used Baroque harp, some strikingly cinematic accordion playing, and haunting 3-part harmonies that included her special guest Bonnie “Prince” Billy and Cheyenne Mize.
Hear most of her set from that night, March 23, 2018, which also included arrangements of Joy Division, Nick Drake, and Lou Reed, traditional folk songs, and an original by Susanna. Our thanks to AC Entertainment for the recording of this performance and to the Big Ears Festival team.
