Sue Rynhart: Say Pluto

Read "Say Pluto" reviewed by Ian Patterson


Traditionalist or avant-garde provocateur? Singer or poet? Dubliner Sue Rynhart is all these things and more, and therein lies her appeal. Her debut, Crossings (Songs For Voice And Double Bass) (Self Produced, 2015), an alluring duo recording with Dan Bodwell, earned Rynhart broad critical acclaim for its hybrid folk, indie pop, spoken word and jazz/improvised spirit. Signals (Mrsuesue Records, 2017) added new textures to similar ingredients, with mbira, recorders, zither and Francesco Turrisi's lute and frame drum ornamenting Rynhart's strikingly ...

Sue Rynhart: Crossings (Songs For Voice And Double Bass)

Read "Crossings (Songs For Voice And Double Bass)" reviewed by Ian Patterson


Life is a series of crossings: from ignorance to knowing; fear to courage; love to heartbreak and from one time and place to the next. It's the bare emotions and the mind-sets inherent in such hazy transitions that provide the inspiration for vocalist/composer Sue Rynhart, who is joined here by Dublin-based American double bassist Dan Bodwell in intimate musical communion.
