Susan Enan, House Concert in Lafayette

Susan Enan does house concerts! Yes house concerts. Last year when Susan began working as the scorer on the Television Show "Bones" she and her friends came up with this great idea that they would post online that they were interested in going to people's homes to do in house concerts, just a chair and a guitar, no microphone, no amps, and a very limited audience. Well the idea took off and before she knew it, she had traveled half the world and performed in 80 countries... in one year!

Last night she did a concert at 413 Marilyn Dr in Lafayette, that address belongs to my boss' and I was invited to attend. I cannot put in to words the magnificence of this woman and grandeur voice she possesses. This video I posted does nothing for the range and brilliancy that Susan Enan so effortlessly vocalizes. 

Born in South England, near Cambridge (although in her diction your can hear a hint of Glasgow, when I chatted her up at the break I asked about that and her Grandmother is from Glasgow). she moved to New York 7 years ago and gearing up for a move to Nashville, TN next February. 

It was an honor to sit and watch her perform, the second photo was taken with her permission but no flash as so not to disturb her, she feels all of her songs very deeply and may not even have noticed if the flash were on. In between each song she would talk and we would ask questions and engage with her on very funny and very personal levels. She is a wonderful individual. 

My boss, Scott, emailed Susan about 10 months ago after hearing her song on "Bones", she responded shortly, as she was in the Artic Circle doing a show, and they scheduled a date. She travels completely alone, just a guitar. She sang 12 songs in the night, the night lasted 3.5 hours, and it wasn't long enough. During the break Susan wouldn't disappear in the back, she hung out and laughed with everyone.

After the show was over, Susan, Scott and myself went to Blue Moon Saloon and watch a new Cajun Music band perform. She was wonderfully impressed and even went so far as to tweet a pic of the band.

A wonderful evening, I wish Susan all the best in her career!
