Susan Herndon is happy to be in Okemah this year to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Woody Guthrie Folk Festival with her WoodyFest family . With a brand new album out—BIG BLUE BEAUTIFUL DREAM– Susan hasn’t been slowed down by any pandemic or apocalypse although it has meant that she has relocated to Texas for now. Still, you can see her and her band, the Bella Counsel– Bob French, Randall Coyne, Steve Murf Murphy, Mike Carter, and Sean Richards, this summer on tour in support of the new record. Says one music critic, “on a bedrock of musical diversity and with undeniable artistry, Susan writes splendid and memorable melodies, choruses and bridges– songs that you simply cannot forget.”
