Susan Enan

'Plainsong', the new record from Susan Enan, is now available. The self-produced album, recorded in 5 different countries features guests musicians including Ashwin Sood, Steve Schiltz, Graham Maby and Oli Kraus, with guest vocals from Declan O'Rouke and Sarah McLachlan.

Enan grew up in Cambridgeshire England. After moving to Liverpool to study music she began playing the local singer songwriter scene. During those University years, alongside the great classical composers, she discovered the simple, yet intelligent, folk songs of Woody Guthrie, and a love for film scores. These passions, simple folks songs combined with more complex musical ideas with a visual leaning, have become the foundation for her debut album, with other influences including Peter Gabriel and Tori Amos.

After leaving Liverpool she moved to Northern Ireland and continued to write and record a few small EP's released locally, but it was the 'Moonlight' EP (2003) which began to get more attention internationally. It led to an opening slot on a three month tour with Ohio based band 'Over the Rhine' which in turn led to a signing with Nettwerk Management and a move to New York.

In 2006, while demoing the songs for the album, Enan began receiving worldwide attention after her track 'Bring On The Wonder' appeared on the second season of the Fox show 'Bones.' Due to a large response from the show, the song was also featured on it's soundtrack two years later.

Bring On The Wonder, along with 9 other tracks make this Susan Enan's much anticipated debut release, 'Plainsong'.
