Bio 2:

Suzannah Johannes is a singer-songwriter based out of Lawrence, Kansas. Raised on a farm outside of Powhattan, Kansas, Suzannah was surrounded by music from an early age but didn't begin teaching herself guitar and singing until after college, thanks to her friend, Hanz Bronze, and plenty of YouTube tutorials.

In 2006 or 2007, she won the KJHK Farmers Ball and used the prize money to record at Black Lodge Studio with Josh Adams and David Wetzel. Four tracks from those sessions became his debut EP, released by Range Life Records in 2008. Over the past 19 years, she has performed solo and with a rotating group of collaborators, including David Wetzel, Nate Holt, Sean McCue, Jeff Jackson, Dustin Kinsey, and Gus Seyffert. Her most recent album, Kansas City, features contributions from Jimmy Fitzner, John Nichols, and Mike Stover of The Grisly Hand, Bill Dolan from 5ive Style, Brooke and Mike Tuley of Brooke Tuley and the Moontravelers and Ad Astra Per Aspera, Kate Naramore, and Henry Nichols. 

After becoming a mother in 2014 and balancing full-time work, music took a back seat—but with new self-released material on the way, she's finding balance and momentum creating and playing music in Lawrence and Kansas City. Pre-order limited-edition vinyl of her upcoming releases, Kansas City: Hanz Bronze Boulevard and Los Angeles: The Missing Album, on her website, suzannahjohannes.com.
