Suzanne Jarvie was born in colonial Hong Kong, to British parents. Raised in Toronto, Canada, she was steeped in and drew inspiration from the likes of Gram Parsons and Emmy Lou Harris to Dolly Parton, the Stanley Brothers and Lucinda Williams. It wasn’t really until 2011 when things changed. On an ordinary day, her oldest son had a tragic accident, falling down a spiral staircase, and went into a coma. Somehow, during the painful recovery of her son, she found the courage to record her stunning debut album Spiral Road about this raw, deeply personal and painful journey. The album received a 2015 nomination from the Independent Music Awards for Best Concept Album and spent 3 months on the Euro-Americana chart reaching #7.
