She calls Cape Cod home, but tours nationally and internationally all year, filling venues from Boston and New York to San Francisco and New Zealand. Now Suede comes home to Ptown. Suede in Concert! plays on Tuesday, July 17th at 8pm at the Crown & Anchor, 247 Commercial St. The venue is Suede’s Provincetown home and she’s always thrilled to come back for a few shows a year with her New England band of Fred Boyle, piano, Rich Hill, bass and Steve Langone, drums. Suede delivers a show with humor and wit, with musical artistry from a cappella to “bring down the house” belting blues.
With a strong belief in social responsibility, Suede has also helped raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for various causes she supports, including affordable housing, breast cancer awareness and research, AIDS funding, Alzheimer’s care and research, animal rights and more.
Suede was Joan Rivers opening act and has appeared on ABC’s “20/20,” NPR, MTV and in the film A Simple Matter of Justice. Her PBS fundraiser, “Suede, Live at Scullers Jazz Club,” has aired on over 50 stations nationally. Her rendition of the Roxanna Ward/Lynn DeFino song “Remember Who You Are” was recently featured on the soap opera “The Young and the Restless” and is on HRC’s compilation disc Being Out Rocks, with other artists of note such as Sarah McLachlan, Rufus Wainright, k.d. Lang, Harvey Fierstein, Janis Ian, Cyndi Lauper, The B-52’s and others. She also holds the distinction of being the first and only female member of the world renowned a cappella group The Flirtations, seen in Jonathan Demme’s film Philadelphia. Her CD. On the Day We Met, features “Emily Remembers,” which became the number one song of the year on WJZW jazz radio in Washington, DC. She recently released a big band CD recorded at (Tony) Bennett Studios in NYC with Dangerous Mood.
