Sue Foley is a highly touted vocalist/guitarist from Ottawa, Canada, although her home base has since shifted to Austin, Texas. Foley's wicked lead guitar makes her a rarity among blueswomen. When she was a child, Foley listened to rock & roll and blues-rock groups like the Rolling Stones. Although these bands sowed the seeds of her affection for the blues, her love for the music didn't blossom until she witnessed James Cotton in concert when she was 15 years old. Cotton inspired Foley to pick up the electric guitar. Foley sent a demo tape of herself to Antone's Records in 1990. Impressed, the label arranged an audition for the guitarist. Sue moved to Austin and soon signed a recording contract with the label. She released her debut album, Young Girl Blues, in 1992 to critical acclaim. With last year's release of her 11th CD, Time Bomb, Foley has once again solidified her place as one of the leading lights of the contemporary blues scene.
