Sue Foley – One Guitar Woman live at Song Sparrow Hall
When: March 11, 2025
** SOLD OUT **
Every time Sue Foley steps on to the stage with her guitar, she honours blues and finger-picking heroines like Memphis Minnie and Maybelle Carter, who invented the Carter scratch style that influenced legends like Johnny Cash and Hank Williams—who, in turn, influenced the likes of Chuck Berry and Elvis Presley.
“It shows a different perspective,” says Foley. “Hopefully, it will open the gates for more girls and women to embrace their place in the history of guitar. After all, we’ve been here all along.”
The Salmon Arm Folk Music Society is proud to present Sue Foley—One Guitar Woman on Tuesday, March 11, 2025, at Song Sparrow Hall. Foley’s tour, named after her new album, will give audiences the chance to hear Foley’s self-taught interpretations of Charo’s La Malagueña on flamenco guitar, Niccolò Paganini’s Romance in A Minor, and Lydia Mendoza’s Mal Hombre. Foley’s ingenuity shines in original compositions like Maybelle’s Guitar, where the Carter scratch underscores the towering
influence of the Carter family’s music.
Foley’s international attention and accolades include the 2024 Blues with a Feeling/Lifetime Achievement award at the Maple Blues Awards, the 2024 Blues Music Award for Best Traditional Blues Female (her fourth consecutive win), a Juno Award, multiple Austin Music Awards, Blues Music Awards, and Trophées de Blues de France.
