Sue Decker:

Sue Decker's rich and warm voice, distinctive slide guitar playing, and authentic songwriting make for a powerful combination. Ever since learning to play guitar in a bluegrass jam at the age of thirty-five, Sue has been discovering her truth in song. These days, her music inhabits the borderlands where blues, folk, country, and soul meet. “The comparisons Decker draws with the great Lucinda Williams and Bonnie Raitt are far from misplaced...brilliant, not to be missed at any cost.”— Patrick Dallongeville ~ Paris Move

Garnering critical acclaim, Sue’s most recent album Keeping Time was recorded in Nashville and produced by sought-after roots producer Steve Dawson. “Sue can write. Listen to this album. Go see her shows. This might just be the best thing I’ve heard all year. ”— Roots Music Canada

Michel Rivero:

Michel Rivero is a Cuban-born singer-songwriter whose music draws deeply from the rich tapestry of world sounds. With a captivating voice, a distinctive guitar style, and a fresh collection of original songs, Michel crafts compositions primarily in Spanish, infused with the vibrant pulse of Caribbean rhythms. As one half of the duo Sweet SantaFe, he released the album Santa Fe in 2017 and the EP Dichoso in 2021, showcasing his evolving artistry. His solo work blends folk, jazz, and singer-songwriter traditions with Afro-Cuban and Caribbean influences, creating a sound that’s both soulful and rhythmically infectious.

Michel’s performances are more than concerts—they’re invitations to move, feel, and

connect through the energy of Latin music.
