SUSAN COWSILL
Singer and songwriter Susan Cowsill made her mark on popular culture at the age of eight with The Cowsills, the 60s family pop group that scored Top Ten singles and served as the inspiration for TV's fictional Partridge Family. During Susan's decade with roots-pop supergroup The Continental Drifters, she won the hearts of discerning listeners with her impassioned vocals and personally-charged songwriting, gracing three widely-acclaimed albums and a decade's worth of riveting performances.
Cowsill's much-loved prior work can now be viewed as a prelude to the stunning solo achievement of Just Believe It . The collection marks a musical and personal milestone for the artist, embodying the same qualities of musical craft and emotional nuance that distinguished her work with The Continental Drifters, while adding a deeper, more resonant and unmistakably personal edge.
Hurricane Katrina posed unexpected challenges to New Orleans musicians, including Susan Cowsill. After losing her home and possessions when Katrina destroyed her city, Susan later learned that her beloved brother Barry had lost his life in the storm's aftermath. Susan's commitment to New Orleans remains passionate and steadfast, which is evident in her powerful Hurricane Katrina song, Crescent City Snow . According to respected sources in the music industry, this song may go down in musical history as the most poignant to come out of the catastrophe. Susan does all she can to help maintain national awareness of conditions in New Orleans. She is proud to perform alongside her fellow musicians for the benefit of New Orleans and has contributed her songs to relief effort compilation CDs. Susan Cowsill's humanitarian efforts also include working against child abuse and actively supporting peaceful causes.
Whether she's delivering a heart-tugging ballad or belting out a punchy rock tune, critics agree that Susan Cowsill has an exceptional talent for connecting with a song's emotional core.
