About Me

'Her forlorn, hyperromantic lyrics are what you'd expect from a girl who reads Shakespeare'
-Rolling Stone (October 2006)
Susan Enan is currently working on her debut album which will feature 'Bring On The Wonder'. A remix of the song was aired in the US on the Fox show 'Bones' on Wednesday 13th September at 8/7c. The recordings will be available soon.

In 2000 Susan Enan released her first solo EP. ..'one' was recorded in a small studio, all played, programmed and mixed by Enan.
With a new band in the summer of 2002 she produced the Moonlight/ Skin, Bone & Silicone EP, which was officially released in Ireland in September 2003. Hotpress called the record a late night masterpiece.
Enan spent much of 2003 on the road in Ireland and the USA. During this time, she was commissioned to write a group of songs, based on Monteverdis Madrigali guerriere ed amorosi (1638). They were performed by Enan and a four piece ensemble in March at the Cresent Arts Centre, Belfast, alongside incidental music by composer Peter Rosser. Other instrumental projects included string arrangments for Michael Camerons album Fragile and two piano studies as a soundtrack for the art installation Sizing Thoughts by Sam Mckee.
Enan has toured extensively in Europe and the US. She has opened for Tony Bennett, Roger McGuinn (in the UK and USA), Aqualung, Damien Rice, Tom McRae, Mike Doughty (of Soul Coughing), and toured the USA for 38 dates with Over The Rhine.
After living in Northern Ireland for a number of years she moved to New York at the beginning of 2005.
