Born in the US and raised in Vancouver, Canada, Suzie Ungerleider began performing under the name Oh Susanna in the mid 1990s, winning instant praise for her striking voice and poetic song-craft. For over two decades and ten critically acclaimed albums, Suzie’s gloriously emotive, crystalline voice, her bewitching performances and her fierce songwriting have consistently captivated audiences and earned her a plethora of accolades for her artistry.

She is the recipient of a Genie Award for Best Original Song and a Canadian Folk Music Award for English Songwriter of the Year. She has also been nominated for three JUNO Awards and four Canadian Folk Music Awards.

In 2021, Suzie launched a new chapter in her career by saying so long to the moniker Oh Susanna and releasing her JUNO-nominated album My Name is Suzie Ungerleider.

The album garnered airplay, reviews and press in UK, Canada, Europe and the US. The record stayed on Earshot’s National Campus Radio Roots/Folk/Blues Top 10 Chart for two months. Upon the heels of a JUNO-nomination for the album, Suzie was nominated for a Canadian Folk Music Award for solo performer of the year.

Now in 2025, Suzie is set to release Among the Evergreens, her most personal work yet —a reflective collection exploring themes of teenage-hood, loss of innocence, ambition shaped by motherhood, survival and second chances, and the evolving question: Who was I then? Who am I now?

February 2025 marked the release of the three-song EP “The Wilds”, building anticipation for the full album's arrival in June.

After being a long-time member of the Toronto roots music scene, Suzie currently lives in her hometown of Vancouver with her husband, her daughter and their dog Willow.

Raised By Swans is the recording alias of Canadian songwriter, singer and multi-instrumentalist Eric Howden. Fiercely independent in all aspects of his music, spanning five full-length albums and two decades thus far, his haunting, contemplative songs have been described as evoking “both mournful and triumphant emotions” (Exclaim!), and have been featured in international film and television, including Academy Award and Palm d’Or nominated director Atom Egoyan’s Chloe (2010), starring Liam Neeson and Julianne Moore.

Raised By Swans Is The Name Of A Man, Volume 2: Run With The Silent Wildfires (2023), is the latest of five albums Howden has written, arranged, performed, produced and independently released as Raised By Swans; his past LPs are Codes and Secret Longing(2005), No Ghostless Place (2010), Öxnadalur (2014), and Raised By Swans Is The Name Of A Man, Volume 1 (2021). Over the eight years spent creating Volumes 1 and 2, he performed concerts in twelve countries, managed a tiny harbourside grocery shop in the most remote municipality in Iceland, and planted 10,000 baby birch trees in the hills of Öxnadalur (a valley in North Iceland), all by himself.

Currently based in London, Ontario, Raised By Swans will be touring in Europe in the fall of 2025. His latest single, “locket from a wreck”, was released on May 7th, 2024.
