Latest and greatest news...

Mid-June, 2009...  
CD update:  It's here, it's here, it's here, it's here!!!  Thoughts at an Intersection, my new 12-song CD, is no longer "upcoming" but has arrived.  Just looking at it makes me very happy!

News update!  The CD is now available at that great indie online record store, CDBaby! -- just click the link, or click my Music page for cute visual links... and soon after, iTunes... these things take a little time to automate.  But in the meantime, if you're in the Chicago area, please check out my Performances page... I'll have the CDs available at my gigs, and you can hear cuts on upcoming radio appearances.  The much-requested song, "Boys are So Sensitive," IS on the CD and I'm very pleased with how this -- and ALL the songs -- sound.  I think you will be, too! 

CD Release show will now likely be in October... more news as it is finalized.

Performances:  We just had a fantastic singer-songwriter showcase, hosted by Brad Cole, at Martyrs.  Great venue, fun mix of songs and collaborations, wonderful listening audience... a lovely time was had by all! 

Please check my Performances page for frequent updates.  I love playing at new venues and joining other musicians in various showcases as well.

MySpace:  In addition to this website, please enjoy my MySpace page as well: http://myspace.com/chicagosuefink
.  You do NOT have to BE a MySpace member to visit... and you can listen to the tunes I have posted there (some brand new tunes, too), as well as click on the links to my myspace friends and hear their music.  My most up-to-date schedule is usually found on that page... I'm also adding the occasional "blog" entry there... a fun place to visit when you have a little time.

I am one of the featured singer/songwriters on Steve Meier's Chicago Songwriter's PodcastEpisode 1 was Terry MacNamara; Episode 2 was Jeanne T. Arrigo; and now I'm Episode 3.  Steve, also a Chicago singer/songwriter,  interviews us on the songwriting process.  You may be interested to learn how different the process can be for different people.  We each play several songs as well as discuss what works for us, our influences, etc.  Check it out!  Also, I've put links to many of the people I mention in the podcast...
