Artists:Susan Tedeschi

Susan Tedeschi has established a formidable reputation as a deeply expressive singer, a prodigiously talented guitarist and distinctive songwriter. She's won a large and loyal audience for her ability to craft elements of classic blues, rock, R&B, folk and gospel into a distinctly individual style. Growing up in a Boston suburb, she began singing with local bands at the age of 13 and subsequently pursued her passion for music while studying at Berklee and performing around the local club scene.

After establishing herself as one of New England's top-drawing live acts, and making her recording debut with her embryonic 1995 album Better Days, Tedeschi achieved an impressive musical and commercial breakthrough with Just Won't Burn. The album, on the independent Tone-Cool label, became a massive grass-roots success, with a minimum of hype and plenty of old-fashioned word of mouth.

Her fans had to wait about four years to hear her third album, and it was appropriately titled Wait For Me. They found that it was worth the wait. The album is a mix of slow soulful ballads, smokin’ rockers, and mid-tempo groove jams. Most of the songs were written or co-written by Tedeschi, but when she does someone else’s song, like Dylan’s Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right, she makes it her own. And now, since the album appears on Whole Wheat Radio, you know that Susan has really made the big time..
