Sue Foley

The Mississippi Valley Blues Society is proud to welcome Sue Foley to Blues Fest 2022. Sue Foley is a multi award winning musician, and one of the finest blues and roots artists working today. Foley spent her early childhood in Canada, mesmerized by her father’s guitar and by twenty-one, she was living in Austin, TX and recording for Antone’s. Foley has toured steadily with her band, toting her signature pink paisley Fender Telecaster “Pinky” both working and sharing the stage with greats such as B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Jimmie Vaughan and Billy F Gibbons. Foley is the only female member of the famed “Jungle Show” which features Gibbons, Vaughan, B3 virtuoso Mike Flanigin and Chris ‘Whipper’ Layton (formerly of Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble). Her latest album, Pinky’s Blues is a raw, electric guitar driven romp through the backroads of Texas.

In 2020, she won “Traditional Blues Female” at the International Blues Music Awards in Memphis. She’s also a Juno Award winner, holds the record for the most Maple Blues Awards including “Best Guitar Player”, and has earned three Trophées de Blues de France. Come see why on Friday, Sep 16, at 10:15pm on the main stage at Blues Fest.
