Here are The Zia Singers performing the wonderful "What Happens When a Woman?" by Alexandra Olsavsky 5/31/26 in Santa Fe. That's yours truly in the center starting it all. I love this piece and love the message. Thank you Zia…

I joined The Zia Singers when I moved to Santa Fe and we now have 65 members. Our spring concert features the wonderful "Washington Women" by Judith Clurman and David Chase—the text is culled from speeches and writing of Michelle…

Well, this is sweet: NOW I'M A KITE is a finalist for album of the year at the New Mexico Music Awards!  It's also up for  best pop album and best song arrangement (for I Quit Blaming You). I…

A late to arrive but very nice review just appeared--thank you, Tom Haugen at TAKE EFFECT. "The songs are introspective, mature and insightful, where Anders’ inimitable voice engages us from beginning to end."

The Zia Singers musical director John Tiranno and I did several fun interviews to get the word out about "Voices of Life, Voices of Light", our winter concerts happening Jan 10/11th here in Santa Fe. My piece "A Wave That…

Better late than never: this nice review of NOW I'M A KITE appeared in hard copy months ago but just now showed up online. Thank you for the alliteration Lee Zimmerman at Blanknews!

“Susan Anders is a special talent.…

There are some new videos from my album release shows in Nashville and Santa Fe. I'm getting better with iMovie bit by bit!

In his nice review of NOW I'M A KITE in American Highways writer John Apice aligns me with Melanie, Nanci Griffith, Carole King, Judee Sill, and Martha Wainwright--that's some weighty company, I'm honored!

 

NOW I'M A KITE has been added at several more stations. I'm particularly delighted that Marilyn Rea Beyer has added it to Midnight Special, which is syndicated to a slew of stations across the US. Thank you Marilyn, and…

My ArtStorming podcast interview with Lili Pierrepont is now available. Lili usually interviews artists, so she branched out with me and our conversation flew: she asked so many thoughtful, inspiring questions about my creative process, performing despite introversion, and my…

Tom Manche, Busy McCarroll, Chazz Frichtel, Waldo LaTowsky, John Rangel and I played all the songs from NOW I'M A KITE for a full and enthusiastic house at Paradiso 5/29/25, which warmed my heart since I've only lived in Santa…

We had an enthusiastic audience who braved thunderstorms and tornado warnings to be a part of my album release show in Nashville. Now I'm revving up for my album release show in Santa Fe 5/29. 

I'm a big fan of Honey Harris's wonderfully eclectic The Big Show on KBAC/98.1 here in Santa Fe. Today I got to meet and be interviewed by her on-air--how fun is that? She is utterly cool and now I'm an…

My single "Moving Target" releases today! Here's everywhere you can hear it

This cover art is a portion of the beautiful album cover created by Sarah D. Lejeune for Now I'm a Kite (out 5-30-25).

Thank you Americana Highways for premiering Moving Target, the first single from Now I'm a Kite. Moving Target releases everywhere Friday March 14th.

I'm a list girl and this is a list time as we prepare for the release of Now I'm a Kite later this spring. My pal Nancy Terzian is working on graphics, she has lent her talent to many of…

Yours truly has a 12-bar solo during the back half of this concert with the Zia Singers. In the front half we sing Mårten Jansson's Missa Popularis, which is gorgeous. 

We're in the final stages of mixing the new album which we'll release in the spring. Meanwhile Sarah Lejeune is working on the cover art. Here's her mockup.

We adopted Eddie in September. Here he is in the studio looking dignified while we work on the new album. Except the brown nose from digging in the yard isn't so dignified.

I've finished my lead vocals for the new album and we've started adding some backing vocals. Dana Cooper played an awesome show here then came over the next day to sing a harmony on “That's What You'd Say”.

I can't say that I've ever done a show with a poet, dancers, a comedian, AND an improv group. I'm looking forward to this one! 

Tuesday July 30th, 7:00 PM at Santa Fe Improv 1

Me and Tom Manche post-gig at the late great Radio Cafe pre-pandemic. Feels like a million years ago. I'm looking forward to this gig, hosted by Ron Whitmore. Tom and I will trade songs for 90 minutes.

Here are the cool feet of cool bassist Chazz Frichtel as he played some very cool bass on tracks for my new album.

This is not a mouse being held up by super drummer Waldo LaTowsky. It's one of the many strange percussion instruments he brought to the studio when I told him I wanted weird percussion on the new album.
