Jenna Nicholls & Suzie Brown with Scot Sax
City Winery Pittsburgh presents Jenna Nicholls & Suzie Brown with Scot Sax live on Tuesday, March 11th, 2025 at 7:00 PM!
A 1970s inspired folk pop songwriter, Suzie Brown has chased her unique muse for a decade, making modern day roots music that nods to the soul singers, heartland rockers, and blues artists who came before her. Gluing the sound together is the unforced voice and honest, autobiographical songwriting of a Renaissance woman who's not only an acclaimed musician, but also an Advanced Heart Failure cardiologist and mother of two. Her songs have earned recognition from the NewSong Music Competition, International Songwriting Competition, Independent Music Awards, Forbes and People Magazine. "I love everything about you, Suzie you're wearing a lot of hats, and wearing them all very well," said broadcast journalist Gayle King during an episode ofCBS This Morning that showcased Brown's unique balancing act between music, medicine, and motherhood. Brown turns that balancing act into music, rolling with the punches, adjusting to the changing times, and writing the ever evolving soundtrack to her journey.
Scot Sax’ multi-faceted career started with a bang when his song ‘I Walked’ became a radio hit with his band Wanderlust (RCA) in ‘95. It was the #1 most requested song on rock stations across the country. That year ended with Wanderlust opening for The Who. After signing a publishing deal with Warner/Chappell in Los Angeles, Sax went on to write and perform “I Am The Summertime” for the film American Pie (awarded a Gold Record) and form indie-darlings FEEL(Curb Records). In 2005 he co-wrote the Grammy-winning Faith Hill/Tim McGraw duet “Like We Never Loved At All”. Upon hearing Scot’s song “What Gets In The Way”, Robert Plant, Alison Krauss and T-Bone Burnett asked he and singer Sharon Little to be their opening act for their Raising Sand Tour in 2007. Sax worked with Don Was in 2009 on Little’s 2nd album. From there Sax went on to dive into another passion of his: film. He released the documentary Platinum Rush: a Film by a Songwriter starring Lisa Loeb, Ron Sexsmith and Oliver Wood, created onstage videos for Lucinda Williams
“Car Wheels On A Gravel Road” 20th Anniversary Tour, and directed award-winning films Playback Is A Bitch and This Is Major.
In a tapestry of sound, Jenna Nicholls weaves a spell: strumming her ukulele with the spirit of New Orleans or crooning a cowboy’s tale with the soul of the West. Her melodies, like vintage vinyl spun anew, carry the weight of memory and promise of tomorrow. With three albums under her belt, her songs have found their way into the heart of cinema and the pulse of television. On the road she’s shared stages with legends like Ingrid Michaelson, and Oscar winner Glen Hansard. From the storied stages of Carnegie Hall and the Beacon Theatre, Jenna’s music echoes through the night, a testament to the enduring power of song.
