Susan Werner Live in Newtown

Over the course of her 25-year touring career, Werner has built a reputation as one of the country’s most compelling live performers. She composes skillful songs that effortlessly slide between folk, jazz and pop, all delivered with sassy wit and classic Midwestern charm.

Werner’s songs are noted for their poetry and sharp wit as well as their astonishing stylistic range. She’s written songs in the style of Gershwin and Cole Porter, gospel music, traditional Cuban “son,” and New Orleans junk piano.
