Suzi Says:
I grew up in Chesterland, Ohio where I was a dancer and a preschool teacher. After moving to New York City, I began singing in a children's band, called Imagination Workshop Band, which along with teaching dance, became a wonderful combination of creativity and fun. Through the years, I have come to realize that I am the happiest when surrounded by kids singing and dancing along with me, so that is what i continue to do. I love my job and feel very grateful that I am able to have so much fun when I am "working"! I also love to write songs and am constantly inspired by my husband, Dave, and my two children, Sebastian (11) and Emma Rose (5).

Who is the band?
I am usually accompanied by a very talented and wonderful group including guitarist Steve Elliot, bassist Matt Clohesy, and drummer Rob Heath. Quite often my backup singer and 11 year old son, Sebastian joins in as well. He will sometimes have some enthusiastic backup singers "The Gumdrops" join in with him to really get the kids up and dancing.

Where have we performed?
We have performed at such wonderful venues as The Lincoln Center Tree Lighting Ceremony, Cain Park, Symphony Space, 92Y Tribeca, The Knitting Factory, The White House, Madison Square Park, Battery Park City, Tribeca Film Festival, Bethlehem Musikfest, The Jewish Museum, The Brooklyn Children's Museum, The Portland Children's Museum, The Bell House and Southpaw to name a few...

Hope to see you at one of my shows very soon!

Love,
Suzi :)
