Susan Gibson

Susan Gibson's latest album, The Hard Stuff, is a testament to resilience.  Written with honesty and clarity, the songs explore loss, love, and life's challenges, yet remain uplifting through Gibson's melodies and vibrant arrangements.  The banjo, her signature instrument, appears sparingly, most movingly on 8 x 10, a tribute to her late mother.

​

Gibson's songwriting is rooted in specificity and truth, whether capturing personal grief in Antiques or celebrating friendship in Wildflowers in the Weeds.  Her life experiences - including caring for her father in his final years - have deepened her perspective and informed her music with both humor and heart.

​

Today, she favors intimate venues where she can connect directly with listeners, following her long-held philosophy:  "focus on the moment, find your audience, and throw your line to those paying attention. " On the road again, in her van with her dogs, Susan Gibson continues to write, perform, and live fully, proving that even the hardest stuff can be rewarding.
