with Midwest Campfire ITR

Susan is without a doubt one of our favorite performers.  Susan was studying opera when she first heard Nanci Griffith and thought, "I'd rather do that".  A wonderful singer, guitar player, and piano player, here are some of Susan's press clippings:

new york times
an extremely promising singer and songwriter from iowa who writes about changing social patterns from a perspective that is clear eyed and leavened with humour....
washington post
always an impressive songwriter, Werner continues to compose sharp, funny, compassionate lyrics, a gift rare enough to set her apart from most of her folk-pop peers.
nashville scene
werner spins fresh, concise yet sophisticated stories.   it's easy to hear why such prominent artists as richard thompson and joan armatrading have invited her on the road....
montreal gazette
you've quite likely never heard of her, which is too bad because werner is one of those rare finds, a singer songwriter who sings as well as she plays as well as she writes.
music row (nashville)
this woman is great.   period.
