Friday Nite Live Music Series: Susan Issac

🎶 Live music starts at 7:00 pm | $10 Cover | Youth (12 & under) $5 | All Ages 🎶 | The Carrot Community Arts Coffeehouse

Susan Isaac is a Manitoba-born folk singer/songwriter making music in Edmonton. A powerhouse vocalist and multi-instrumentaIist, Susan crafts enduring songs reflecting on themes of land, loss, home, belonging, and parenthood. While solidly situated in the folk genre characterized by her fingerstyle guitar and signature storytelling, Susan’s slow-cooked lyrics and melodies also display pop sensibilities and country leanings, with the occasional indie rock chorus thrown in for good measure! Born to folk singer Carol Isaac and a family that prioritized music, Susan wrote her first song at the age of 5, joined her first choir at the age of 7, and spent the rest of her childhood making as much music as possible with family and friends in the small community of Stonewall Mb (which she grew up outside of)—and, increasingly, Winnipeg as she got older and sought new performance opportunities. She was a participant in the inaugural year of the Young Performers Program at the Winnipeg Folk Festival. When life asserted itself, Susan chose to direct her attentions elsewhere, working in community development, travelling and eventually having two children and moving to Edmonton. Through some chance intersections, she began song-writing 2 years ago to process the death of her father, which opened the floodgates to a torrent of songs and musical aspirations as of yet unexplored. Over the last two years as a member of The Night Warblers, Susan honed her songwriting and storytelling, and is now developing her solo career.
