Susan Picking is a Southwestern Michigan gal who has recently relocated back here from Southern California. She is a piano playing, ukulele strumming, award winning singer songwriter with lashings of talent.
Yes, “Picking” is her real name, but tickling the ivories is her first musical language. Her moving melodies relfect a deep soul. Susan’s songs are about life, but not as we usually think of life. She cajoles the listener to see the quirky underbelly. Her wistful wit comes through a voice rich with lovely cadences.
Her Irish Heritage lead her to study Sean Nos, the traditional acappella singing. She was the vocalist and played bodhran with the Southern California based Celtic band Crannog.
Picking released her much anticipated first CD, Down in Your Soul, in 2008. She followed that up with a 3 track mini release titled Take Three in 2009, containing 2 award winning songs “Why”, and “Wonder in the Wander”. “Why” was included on the SongsAlive 10 an internationally released compilation CD.
She is currently hosting an essay contest from her website titled “Wonder in the Wander”. It is based on her song of the same title, which was inspired while on Safari in Africa. The song is about the universal human connection and the miracles and coincidences that happen every day. Visit www.susanpicking.com to enter your Wonder in your Wander.
Susan feels music is the universal language that connects and heals. Sing along with her “Winter’s tune”…..to attune your frequency to a higher vibration.
