Suzie Brown & Scot Sax + My Girl The River

MY GIRL THE RIVER: American expat My Girl The River aka Kris Wilkinson Hughes brings a multi-genre blend to the table. Lyrics and melodies that stick, her latest album, Cardinal in the Snow, (produced by Neilson Hubbard) received 8/10 from AmericanaUK calling it ‘Nashville meets southern gothic’. With a voice ‘like sugared espresso, My Girl The River’s songwriting has been compared to Jason Isbell, Lucinda, and Brandi Carlile. She has toured with Suzanne Vega and played shows with Kim Richey, David Olney, Will Kimbrough and Jonathan Byrd, to name but a few. Kris is also the founder of the ARC Songwriter Tour with Kate Ellis and Anna Howie.

 

SUZIE BROWN & SCOT SAX: A 1970s-inspired folk-pop songwriter, Suzie Brown has chased her unique muse for a decade, making modern-day roots music that nods to the soul singers, heartland rockers, and blues artists who came before her. Gluing the sound together is the unforced voice and honest, autobiographical songwriting of a Renaissance woman who’s not only an acclaimed musician, but also an Advanced Heart Failure cardiologist and mother of two. Her songs have earned recognition from songwriting competitions, Forbes and People Magazine. “I love everything about you, Suzie — you’re wearing a lot of hats, and wearing them all well,”said broadcast journalist Gayle King during an episode of CBS This Morning that showcased Brown’s unique balancing act between music, medicine, and motherhood. Brown turns that balancing act into music, rolling with the punches, adjusting to the changing times, and writing the ever-evolving soundtrack to her journey.

Scot Sax knows his way around a song.  He has been writing them for years, whether it was with his own bands Wanderlust (RCA) and Feel (Curb), or as a purveyor of hits for singers like Faith Hill and Tim McGraw. It was Sax, in fact, who co-wrote the country duo’s Grammy-winning smash “Like We Never Loved At All.”  His catchy “I Am the Summertime,” penned while with the band Bachelor Number One, was featured in the blockbuster “American Pie.” And he’s netted countless TV credits, with song placements in shows like “Ghost Whisperer,” “NCIS,” “CSI: NY” and “Keeping up with the Kardashians.”
