SUSAN WEBER

MONET'S ORBIT, her 2007 album of original Triple A rock, was named one of the year’s top ten local releases by CoolCleveland. Weber, who holds a Free Times Music Award for Best Singer-Songwriter, is also a finalist for the 2008 award, the only woman among the five nominees. She garnered the Great American Song Contest’s Honor Award for 'Better Safe Than Sorry', an unreleased but often performed song in her eclectic repertoire.

Weber grew up as a classical pianist, migrating to acoustic and electric guitar under the guidance of Michele Temple of Pere Ubu. Her songwriting is distinguished by impressionist musical poetry delivered with clear diction over Weber’s lead guitar figures and the rock solid rhythms of her band. Critics compare her sound to The Jefferson Airplane, P.J. Harvey and a heartland version of Patti Smith in a flight of empowered reflection.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum consultant Gary Rice called a recent live performance 'excellence that is truly possible but seldom seen.’ CoolCleveland’s Peter Chakerian, praises MONET'S ORBIT as a powerful work that ‘sinks and shudders and soars with harrowing spiritual nakedness.’

Performance highlights: Ingenuity Festival, WRUW's Studio-A-Rama, Emmy Award-winning Words & Music TV, Cleveland Peace Show, and premier music clubs including the Beachland, Winchester, HiFi and Barking Spider.
