Musician Reviews:
"Susan rocks. Such an accomplished writer with a great voice; what more could you want?"
"It's rare that you come across an artist that has the complete package. Great song writing, amazing vocalist, tremendous work ethic, beautiful looks, as well as being a wonderful person; Susan Calloway has it all. And I almost forgot, she plays guitar like a dude! What more could you possibly ask for?"
"From the very first time I heard her sing her voice spoke to me. Susan has that special ingredient that all great singers have. The ability to command all the attention in a room and focus it on what she wants you to hear. But she is not just a singer. Susan is as complete of an artist as I ever have worked with. Her songs are special messages of life, performed by an artist fully in command of her craft. Working with her is a pleasure. She arrives at every session with a suitcase full of talent!"
"Working with Susan has been, and is such a great joy. Her material has substance, and that's hard to find on airwaves cluttered with fluff. Susan's lyrics really mean something; they come from a deep,
contradictory place of sorrow, joy, hate, love, despair and hope. Her words and music are complex, yet accessible and they constantly defy mediocrity...on top of that, she can sing."
"After working with some of the world-s greatest vocalists, including the likes of Diana Ross, Luciano Pavarotti, Andrea Bocelli, Celine Dion, Peter Cetera, and so many others, I am still always quite overwhelmed by Susan's huge talent and gorgeous voice whenever I get the opportunity to perform with her, either on the concert stage or in recording studios. She has the rare ability to make the music her own. When she sings, the music becomes a moving and intimate personal statement. Only the greatest performers connect with fellow musicians and audiences in this way!"
"The first time I heard Susan's voice was at the rehearsal for Distant Worlds in Grand Rapids. She is so expressive that it caught my ear and I instantly fell in love with her voice"
