SUMMARY:St Paul's presents – Sue Decker
DESCRIPTION:Victoria songwriter and slide guitarist Sue Decker is bringing her stirring and well-crafted songs to Sidney in July as she gears up to record her second album. Set to be released later this year\, the album will be recorded in Nashville with sought-after roots producer Steve Dawson. \nThe Sue Decker Band delivers their country soul sound infusing Sue’s evocative songwriting with the echoes of early blues\, country\, and folk. Sue’s soulful voice\, earthy slide guitar playing\, and ‘outlaw country’ songwriting sensibility make for a powerful combination. Joining Sue (guitar\, vocals and lap steel guitar) are Denny Box (drums)\, Ellen Box (bass) and Gavin Hodgins (mandolin\, guitar\, vocals). \nIn 2019\, Sue released her debut full length album Outskirts of Love to international acclaim. “We have proof here that Ry Cooder and Lucinda Williams once hooked up. Decker is a mind-blowing talent not to be missed.” ~ Midwest Record.
