Sue Foley

Sue Foley is a triple threat—a lead guitarist, a singer, and a songwriter. She is a two-time winner of the Blues Music Award for Traditional Blues Female Artist. She won the Best Guitarist and Best Blues awards at the 2023 Austin Music Awards, and she won the Blues with a Feeling award for lifetime achievement at the 2024 Maple Blues Awards. Her album Pinky’s Blues took home Best Traditional Blues Album at the 2022 Blues Music Awards. Foley has toured steadily, working and sharing the stage with such greats as B. B. King, Buddy Guy, Jimmie Vaughan, and ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons. Her high-energy, guitar-driven live shows are steeped in the Texas blues sound she was schooled in. Her first solo acoustic album, One Guitar Woman, a tribute to the pioneering women of the guitar, was released in March.
