Sue Jeffers is a folk singing guitar playing woman from Kent, OH. Her catalog includes over 60 original songs, ranging from
hardhitting political commentary and social satire to more personal tales of life and love. She was subverted early on by the
likes of Woody and Arlo Guthrie , Buffy Sainte-Marie, Phil Ochs, Joan Baez. Some later influences have been the Indigo Girls,
Billy Bragg and Tracy Chapman.
Sue has performed from the jail cells of Cleveland to the beaches of San Diego and many points in between. She has been a
part of workshops at the Kent State Folk Festival several years and also has showcased at the Philadelphia Music Conference.
As a performer at the Kent State May 4th 1970 Commemorations she has shared the bill with Country Joe McDonald and
Robert Lockwood Jr.. Her appearances include 100's of rallies and benefits as well as more coffeehouse shows than she cares
to remember.
Sue has released 5 projects on her own label, FBI Records. Her latest effort, "One Man's Ceiling is Just Another One's Door"
will be available September, 1999. She is part of the Indiegrrl Vol. I Compilation CD as well as the Musicians For Peace release "Ground Zero" and the upcoming benefit cd "Stoking the Fires of Resistance"
What others have said.....
....Sue Jeffers should remind us all of the true nature of folk music as a conduit for self-expression, free speech and
political activism
-the Incredibly Small Concert Hall
that sounds like some kind of *#/$? punk Bob Dylan

Sue Jeffers is a folk musician firmly within the Arlo and Woody Guthrie tradition, combining political commentary
with more personal insights in her music. Her political pieces are primarily concerned with environmental issues of
different kinds, while the personal songs tend to the bittersweet aspects of relationships and their endings. Two of
the songs combine these, weaving the political and personal together, and these songs are particularly strong and
effective. .......I like One Man's Ceiling... quite a lot, and think fans of traditional politically aware folk who appreciate Seeger
and the Guthries will be especially taken with Jeffers' style, skill and subject matter. I'm glad to have encountered
her music, and look forward to hearing more from her in the future. |
