Suzzy Roche is a founding member of acclaimed singing group
The Roches, originally from Park Ridge. In addition to recording numerous albums with The Roches, Suzzy has recorded two solo albums, and an unusual collection of musical prayers,
Zero Church (with Maggie Roche), which was developed at the Institute on the Arts and Civic Dialogue at Harvard University. She has written two books; a novel
Wayward Saints, and a children's book
Want To Be in a Band?
Suzzy and Lucy have released their first collaboration, Fairytale and Myth, which won the VOX/POP Independent Music Awards for The Best Singer/Songwriter Album for 2014. They have been performing together as a duo, with stage presence bred in the bone, and their show is filled with smart, penetrating songs with plenty of family harmonizing.
Special guests ROCHEANDFATHER are Park Ridge native
David Roche and his daughter Oona. David wrote his first song in a Park Ridge bedroom at #8 Villa Court when he was five years old, and has been performing ever since. His most recent CD is
Harp Trouble In Heaven. Daughter Oona is in her third year of the acting conservatory at SUNY Purchase.
