Sue
Foley is a multi-award winning musician and of the one of the finest
blues and roots artists working today. Foley spent her early childhood
in Canada, mesmerized by her father’s guitar and started her
professional career at sixteen. By twenty-one, she was living in Austin,
TX and recording for Antone’s—the esteemed blues record label and
historic nightclub that helped launch the career of Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Foley’s first release, Young Girl Blues, quickly rooted her unique
talents as a proficient blues guitarist/singer/songwriter and launched
her out on the road—working and sharing the stage with greats such as BB
King, Buddy Guy, Joe Cocker and Tom Petty. In 2001, she won the
prestigious Juno Award (Canadian equivalent of the Grammy) for her CD,
Love Coming Down. Foley also holds the record for the most Maple Blues
Awards (seventeen) and has earned three Trophees de Blues de France. She
has also garnered several nominations at the International Blues Music
Awards in Memphis, TN.
Foley is an accomplished and award winning
songwriter. Her music has been featured in the major motion picture You
Can Count On Me and she also contributed the theme song, “Two Trains,”
for the internationally syndicated television series Just Cause. She has
been featured numerous times in major print publications including The
New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Toronto Globe and Mail, The
National Post, Downbeat and Mojo Magazine, and has performed and been
featured on nationally syndicated radio shows: House Of Blues,
Sirius-XM’s BB King’s Bluesville, CBC’s Saturday Night Blues, NPR’s
Mountainstage, West Coast Live, Kentucky Woodsongs and Beale Street
Caravan.
In 2001 Foley started a project called Guitar Woman
based around dozens of interviews she conducted with the world’s leading
female guitarists. For eight years she wrote articles, organized and
promoted concerts, and worked on a book—fueling her passion for gender
studies in music and her desire to bring the work of great women guitar
players to light. The Guitar Woman project entered a period of dormancy
from 2009-2015 while Foley pursued several musical collaborations and
returned to university to get her graduate’s degree.
When she’s
not recording or performing internationally, Foley is a Professor of
Music. Her specialty is teaching courses related to the roots of
American music, creativity, musician entrepreneurship, and empowering
women musicians. In her spare time, she studies the cello, reads
voraciously, continues to work on Guitar Woman and is planning on
pursuing her PhD.
