Susan Julian is a midwestern old-school product of a baby-boom generation of artists, a singer of rhythm and blues when rhythm and blues was still rhythm and blues... a self-taught, idealistic musician, singer, and writer whose songs touch on heartfelt truths.

A Chicago native, Susan played with a wide variety of different bands around the Midwest, most notably Waukesha-based band the BoDeans, who included in their accomplishments opened for U2 during the Joshua Tree tour. After recording their 3rd album, "Home", Susan left that tour to form her own band and go from side-man to big cheese.

In there somewhere is a long list of commercials, recording projects, 6-nighters at Holiday Inns, two shows a night in Las Vegas, and 3 shows a day directing a country music revue in Japan. Yes,....really.

Aside from all that music industry glamour, Susan has also had the pleasure and privilege of working with:

• BoDeans
• Willy Porter
• Hubert Sumlin
• Pinetop Perkins
• Greg Koch
• Gene Pitney
• Paul Barrere
• Los Lobos
• Vonda Shepard
