Suzanna Choffel

Known for her distinct voice and reggae-inspired guitar technique, Austin native Suzanna Choffel's music has been described as "a unique sound equal parts Beat poetry, smoky soul grooves and indie-pop eccentricity." (Jim Derogatis). Having made appearances at ACL Music Fest, SXSW, Voodoo Fest, as well as on screen in movies like "Catfish" and NBC's The Voice (earning singular praise from Rolling Stone as "the only artist you'd want to listen to a complete album from"), Choffel feels equally at home singing in a dimly lit, smoky club as she does front and center in front of (literally) millions. She has opened for a diverse array of artists including Buena Vista Social Club, Suzanne Vega, Puss’n’Boots, Davíd Garza and many others. In Sept. 2024 she released her fourth studio album Bird by Bird produced by Davíd Garza (a collaborator on Grammy-winning Fiona Apple's Fetch the Boltcutters). Choffel may be "genre-challenged", but Austin Chronicle's Abby Johnston notes "Versatility has always been a feature of Choffel’s music and her fourth album is noncommittal in almost every way but one: the singer’s ability to harness and showcase her voice as the album’s most deft instrument."
