Sue Foley is considered to be one of the finest blues/roots artists working today. She is internationally regarded as one of the best and most original artists working in her field. She is an accomplished guitarist, songwriter and vocalist. Although she is only in her mid-thirties, she has been writing and playing for over twenty years. Sue has recorded seven full-length albums: five for Austin, TX - based Antone's Records, and three for NJ - based Shanachie Records. Sue has spent over fourteen years on the road as bandleader, lead vocalist, guitarist and manager of her own band. In addition to her own touring, she has also shared the stage with many of the premiere blues performers of our generation including BB King, Buddy Guy and John Lee Hooker.

In 2000, she was honored with her first Juno Award for her recording "Love Comin' Down". Since 1999 she has received a record setting fourteen Maple Blues Awards: two each for Songwriter of the Year and Recording of the Year in 2000 and 2002, as well as two for Guitarist of the Year in 2000 and 2001. Additionally, she has been named Entertainer of the Year, for the last three consecutive years and Female Vocalist of the Year for four years running. Her most recent CD "Where the Action Is", received the first-ever nomination for a Canadian female artist in the prestigious W.C. Handy Awards in the US. She is also the recipient of two international awards for musical excellence in the blues, both from France.

Since the start of the year, Sue has been focusing all her energies into her next release, tentatively entitled "Absolution", which will reveal her dedication to the roots/blues style of music she is internationally so well-known for.

When Sue is not honing her craft, she is busy pursuing artistic and financial independence. She had started her own company, Guitar Woman Inc., and has plans to form her own record label. Sue is also working on Guitar Woman - a project involving a book and a documentary that will be a historical and biographical account of women guitarists throughout the world.
