Suzy Bogguss

“Suzy Bogguss has the voice of angel with a generous spirit who has a collection of work that is timeless” – Multi-Grammy Award winning Kathy Mattea

During the creative explosion that was country music in the 1990’s Suzy Bogguss sold 4 million records with sparkling radio hits like “Outbound Plane”, “Someday Soon”, “Letting Go”, “Drive South”, and “Hey Cinderella”… but you can’t peg
Suzy that easily…

Granted, a living legend of country music, having earned eight Top 10 hits throughout the 1990s before exploring new influences — including Jazz, Western Swing, and the Bakersfield sound — during the 21st century.

In the midst of her country popularity she took time off to make a duets album with the legendary Chet Atkins, then in 2003 an album of modern swing music with Ray Benson of Asleep At The Wheel.

An album of original music in 2007 landed her at No 4 on the Jazz charts. Her folk music roots show through in her frequent appearances on public radio’s A Prairie Home Companion, in the Grammy she earned for her work on Beautiful Dreamer: The Songs of Stephen Foster, and in her critically acclaimed album and book project from 2011, American Folk Songbook.

In 2014 she released Lucky, a collection of songs written by Merle Haggard and interpreted through Suzy’s crystal vocals from the female point of view. Her latest offering, Prayin’ For Sunshine, is an Americana tour de force with all songs written by Bogguss.

She continues to tour the world, both on her own and with fellow Country Radio divas Terri Clark and Pam Tills as “Chicks With Hits” and more recently, with Kathy Mattea on their Together At Last tour.

In 2025 Suzy was inducted into the Illinois Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and in January of 2026 she became the newest member of the Grand Ole Opry.

… so yes, you can call her a Country singer if you want, but really that’s just the beginning.

“Suzy Bogguss has been gifted with a truly beautiful voice, just right for country music — or any kind of ballad, really” – AllMusic
