Over the course of her twenty five year career, Susan Werner has earned a reputation as “one of the most innovative songwriters working today” (Chicago Tribune).

With formidable chops on guitar (she began playing at age 5) and piano (she was a guest on Marian McPartland’s “Piano Jazz”), along with a graduate degree in voice performance, her shows are a one-woman master class in musicianship.

Although best known as an acoustic songwriter that came up through coffeehouses and folk festivals, the Chicago-based artist has written songs in the style of Gershwin and Cole Porter (“I Can’t Be New,” 2004), gospel music (“The Gospel Truth,” 2007), traditional Cuban “son” (“An American In Havana,” 2016), and New Orleans junk piano (“NOLA,” 2019).

In 2014 she composed the music and lyrics to the musical theater score “Bull Durham, The Musical (MGM).” Her songs have been recorded by Tom Jones, Michael Feinstein, and Shemekia Copeland, and her latest recording of originals, The Birds of Florida, took flight in 2022.
