Susan Werner

Dubbed the "Empress of the Unexpected" by NPR, this feisty and perceptive Iowa-born singer-songwriter has captured audiences with a surprising acoustic mix of folk, jazz, gospel, pop, and chamber traditions that beautifully melds wry observations, insightful storytelling, and soulful delivery. Werner—who says that you can find her "at the intersection of the Indigo Girls and Marlene Dietrich"—is as comfortable placing her own stamp on classics across genres as she is expertly composing her own signature numbers that seem destined for a home in the American Songbook.

There will be no late seating for this performance.

This performance will last approximately 90 minutes with no intermission.

This performance will be set up "club-style" in the Studio Theatre.
