notes
Sue Keller is a performing artist with roots in a lot of different musical styles. Her earliest years were devoted to classical piano and vocal training and choir work as a 1st soprano through high school. In her college years she started out majoring in music and singing 2nd soprano but changed music to her minor (changing her major to theater) when the music department went ballistic over her working her way through school doing gigs as a folk guitar musician.
After college in the 80's she worked her way around New England with a variety of bands specializing in Country Rock, doing essentially the same circuit as Bonnie Raitt, where she became affectionately known by the nickname, Licksy, for her blistering piano solos. The 90's brought Sue to NYC where she evolved into a solo club performer and began shifting her focus to jazz and ragtime, and eventually to early Blues. During this period Sue also did a few stints in the NY theater scene as a musical director for a variety of off-Broadway and college productions. Sue presently resides in the Chicago area, appears in Jazz, Blues, and Ragtime festivals world-wide.
Nola is the 3rd in a series of Ragtime CDs recorded by Sue and was the 1st of her Ragtime releases to contain vocals. The title tune is special to Sue because it's double "Kellerized"... Sue learned it from her mother who had already adapted and personalized it in a tradition continued by Sue.
