A Little Bit More About Me

Sue Harris, who grew up in Arizona, is a lifelong folksinger whose passion and respect for the West, its stories, history and lifestyle, are evident from the moment she steps on stage. Harris has a masterful touch with "true western music".  She conveys the feeling of what this music is supposed to be about -- wide open spaces, a type of life style and a particular type humor indigenous to the west.  Her presentations are sometimes quirky, sometimes dramatic, sometimes wistful… and never fail to draw the listener in to the world of the West from her own unique perspective.

    She spent many years on the Roster of Performing Artists for the Arizona Commission on the Arts, and was inducted in 2010 into Arizona CultureKeepers, an honorary society of individuals who have demonstrated a passionate dedication to keeping Arizona’s culture alive. She has participated in multiple shows with Arizona state historian Marshall Trimble and Arizona state balladeer Dolan Ellis, in addition to touring the country with the inimitable New Christy Minstrels.

    She has been featured at many cowboy gatherings throughout the Southwest and all across Canada, and has released two CD’s, both of which have enjoyed international airplay.  In addition, her recording of Dean Cook’s “Where Do You Go” was included on the Smithsonian Folkways compilation CD “Songs and Stories from Grand Canyon”.
