Susan Herndon is an American singer-songwriter from Tulsa, Oklahoma, labelled by Tulsa World as being among a group of the "region's most talented musicians."[1] In 2000, Herndon released Quiet Cave and had her song "The Drum" featured on NPR's All Songs Considered. In 2003, she released In The Attic, a follow up to her previous work, and, in 2005, she released Peccadillos, which consisted of two albums (Mister Bed and Women and Children First) that spanned 16 songs. In 2007, she released a smaller album, 1,000 Pies, which features several guest artists from Oklahoma. When asked whether she considered herself a folk artist or a singer/songwriter, Herndon said she considers herself "definitely more a songwriter" and that her "songs dictate (the style)."[2]
Her music was described as being able to "deliver lyrics in a manner that hits close to the heart and draws an emotional response."[2]
When Susan was young, she took guitar lessons from Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame member Tommy Crook.
