Suede debuts at Cotuit Center for the Arts

Cotuit Center for the Arts presents Suede on Friday, August 26, at 7:30 PM. Pop/jazz/blues vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Suede has been described by the New York press as “Like Adele meets Diana Krall meets Bette Midler—sassy, smooth, and intoxicating.” The Boston Globe calls her “Wicked exciting.” No pressure right? She was Joan Rivers’ opening act. Dare her. Come see why. She’s up to it!

Suede plays piano, trumpet, and guitar, but voice is her first instrument and her love of entertaining, and powerful charismatic presence, are what make her truly stand out. She sings everything from originals written for her by a circle of great contemporary writers to favorite intimate ballads, to jazz standards, to “bring-down-the-house” belted-out blues - all with her own signature blend of warmth, wit and musical artistry.

A resident of Cape Cod for twenty years, Suede was born in New York. She knew early on that she wanted to be a professional touring musician and began to make it so by performing in public while still in high school. Completely self-taught, she started her formal music training in college, studying classical voice and trumpet. She started playing local clubs in the Baltimore/DC/Philly corridor and was soon touring nationally and internationally, eventually performing sold-old shows at clubs like Birdland in New York City, Scullers Jazz Club in Boston, Feinstein’s in San Francisco, The Kennedy Center and more.

When she could not get signed for a record deal - and not to be stopped from pursuing her dream - she founded her own record label, Easily Suede Music in 1988, long before the current trend for Indie artists. She has released six albums to date, with another one in the pipeline. Her DVD “Live at Scullers Jazz Club” has aired on 54 PBS stations nationally thus far as part of their fund-drive efforts.

Suede is an artist who believes in the power of celebrity to raise awareness for causes she believes in and is also known for her generosity, raising funds for such worthy causes as a free clinic in the Washington DC area, affordable housing, breast cancer awareness and research, AIDS research, Alzheimer’s care and research, animal rights, and many more.

Joining Suede will be her New England based trio of Fred Boyle on piano, Rich Hill on bass, and Steve Langone on drums.

Tickets are $30, $28 for seniors and veterans, and $25 for members. Premium tables with wine are available. For tickets and more information, visit artsonthecape.org or call 508-428-0669. Cotuit Center for the Arts is at 4404 Route 28 in Cotuit.
