Since then, she's performed at countless venues - from New York's The Bitter End, to Nashville's iconic Tootsies to headlining Hartford's Infinity Music Hall - traveling back and forth between Connecticut and Tennessee.
crybaby creek
Originating from central New England, formerly known as the band, Soup, we decided to change the group's persona and rename it, CryBaby Creek. Combining vintage material mixed with new, we try to maintain our focus on writing great original music. We have been fortunate to collaborate with a lineup of very talented guest artists to make these recordings stand out, as well as the many more songs to come.
midnight anthem
The Midnight Anthem is a musical trio from New England, made up of Catherine, Sophia & Grace...cousins by birth, but sisters at heart. The group has an uncanny knack for creating music that is both fun to listen to and touches the soul. Music is a family tradition for The Midnight Anthem. Much of their childhood was spent with their parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles & 19 cousins performing and celebrating America’s history at fife & drum musters in Connecticut & New York.mThey have now teamed up as a singer/songwriter group creating and performing for audiences in the northeast (and hopefully beyond!)
Splash of zan
Splash of Zan is a group of friends from Sturbridge who share the desire to rock out to great classic music of the 70s, 80s, and 90s. They enjoy sharing their music with people who want to sing along, dance and rock out. With Pete Jarzabski on drums, Dave Pentilla on Bass, Lana Piecynski on keyboards, Dave Wright on guitar and Suzanne Wright as the singer, SOZ donates a large portion of the proceeds they raise from their shows to local charities.
