Jay Funk Dawg Posted September 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 ... she's a real wholesome girl, but with sexy vocals that will knock your socks off! Suzy and I were in the Aaron MacDonald Band together while she was going to St. F.X. and dating the lead singer (Aaron) we toured sporatically together for a year all over Atlantic Canada - our biggest gig was opening for Natalie MacMaster in Halifax. Years later we've reunited to play some St.F.X. Church functions and this will be her 4th time playing with High Plains Drifter. She did a wonderful job of pulling off songs by Jackson 5, Sharon Jones, James Brown, Paul Simon, Sly & The Family Stone and more... should be a fun show.. !!
