Sue Pascoe-Johnson has been singing Jazz ever since her father introduced her to the music of Louis Armstrong when she was 4. Though trained and working as an Architect, she has always taken time to search out local musicians and sing where ever she has lived including Hong Kong, Singapore, London, New York, Sydney, Brisbane and now Melbourne.
She has also been studying with Alison Wedding, Julie O'Hara, Emma Gilmartin, Michelle Nicole and great guest vocalists such as Kate Ceberano at Monash University in 2006/2007/2008.
She has been performing more and more regularly with Leon Heale on Double Bass mixed with Chris Sommervelle or Todd Sidney on piano. If you are lucky enough to have caught one of their gigs on the peninsula at Frankston Twighlight Market, the Blue Mini Cafe Rosebud or weddings and functions at Marindah Park Vineyard, Hickenbothams, Lindenderry or Flinders Golf Club you would have experienced the sparks flying as they have such fun together it's contagious for anyone listening.
In 2008 Sue has caught up with beautiful Pianist & Accordion player Jo Abbot and they play as a duo each month at T'Gallants in Main Ridge.
"Sue has something that endeared her to the audience. Her overall performance, selection of tunes and her interaction with the audience was first class." David May Mostly Jazz - 3RPP 98.7
