Be it a corner duo or 7-piece band, a musical performance by Susan and her band mates delivers professional sound, state of the art equipment and well rehearsed music to fit each venue. Music is chosen to fit the occasion.
Seasoned professionals bring musicality as well as good attitude, timeliness and presentation that engage and entertain the audience.
The band comes arrives knowing where we are and who we are there for. In preparation, we find out who, what, and why - and tailor our content and sound accordingly. We can be highly engaged for a birthday bash or create a non-intrusive atmosphere that invites serious listeners to come closer.
What is needed is most important ~ we prepare with that in mind.
Music has always grabbed my attention, lifted my heart, invited me to play. Music is good company for learning, wanting and waiting. After filling the heart, a song is released on breath, brave and true. Those are my songs. Susan LeMaster
"Susan sings the Great American Songbook along with a repertoire full of gems that display her wide-ranging love of musical styles. Her swinging vocal style exudes joy, what soul!” LeMaster delivers, in any combination from duo to big band, she shines." Stephen Blackman - guitarist, accompanist
Bands have everything to be independently miked and amplified - all we need is power.
