Suzie Vinnick: in the Studio ft. Lily Sazz & Rob Lamothe

Her latest album is entitled “Fall Back Home.”

Fall Back Home marks the triumphant return of acclaimed Canadian roots music singer/songwriter Suzie Vinnick. Fittingly released at the start of fall 2022, her seventh solo album is a compelling 11-song collection of solo compositions, co-writes, and carefully curated outside material.

As has become a Vinnick signature , Fall Back Home defies easy stylistic categorization. She is equally at ease in the blues, folk, and roots worlds, and elements of gospel and rockabilly are also present here.

The choice of album title (a lyric from “Talk To Me,” a song she co-wrote with Matt Andersen for the record) alludes to this eclectic approach. “I do cross over genres and I love all sorts of music so I consider that my home. There’s also a double meaning to the title, in that it references coming back home to a comfortable and safe place through the pandemic,” Suzie explains.

Opener: Lily Sazz and Rob Lamothe

Lily Sazz has been making waves on the roots and blues music scene as her first solo album “What Just Happened” has been receiving unanimously glowing reviews both in Canada and abroad. Her songwriting and authentic delivery is touching hearts and inspiring laughter, tears, and everything in between. The recording features a star-studded array of guests including Colin Linden, Suzie Vinnick, Harry Manx, Steve Marriner, Trombone Charlotte, Boreal and more, but her live performances capture the magic, and whether you see her perform solo, or with any of her collaborators, you’ll find yourself thoroughly entertained and engaged. Lily was a long time member of the Women’s Blues Revue Band (10 years as musical director), toured with Canada’s Queen of the Blues, Rita Chiarelli, co-founded and led critically acclaimed bands Trailblazers, Groove Corporation, and Maple Blues Award nominated Cootes Paradise.
