Singer/Songwriter

Ever since she started writing songs two years ago, Suzie Brown has taken the music industry by storm. She has sold out popular venues such as Boston’s Club Passim and Philadelphia’s Tin Angel. She has also opened for Livingston Taylor and Lyle Lovett. Now she is set to release her sophomore album, titled Heartstrings.

Brown is a practicing cardiologist who recently gave up her research to follow her music career. Good thing for us she went for her dream because this music really hits the spot.

For those of you who are unaware of the fact that Sara Ramirez is a singer who has showcased her voice on Broadway, this becomes incredibly clear in her recently released EP. This album features only four songs, but all of them demonstrate the power of Ramirez’s voice. Her singing was also recently featured on an episode of Grey’s Anatomy when her character, Callie Torres, suffered horrific injuries in a car accident. The release of this EP was just days before the episode aired.

Hating my life as a freshman at Boston College, I used to spend a significant amount of time meandering through the freezing cold city avoiding actually attending class before I decided to transfer to a warmer locale.

However, if going to school in Boston offered me one thing, it is this- Brian Bergeron. In one of my trips through the city, I followed the heavenly acoustics and romantic voice that I heard from a distance only to find myself standing in front of an adorable guitar player selling his CDs on the street corner.

Tori Amos emerged in the '90s as part of a movement of female singer/songwriters, one who wrote very personal, typically confessional lyrics. Quickly she rose to prominence in that field, and when we listen to her debut album, "Under the Pink," we can certainly hear why. She possesses many talents that are evident here. Her piano playing is widely ranged, and she can play anything from pieces more classically arranged to jazz and rock.
