Suzy Cramer is a Colchester based multi-instrumental Alt-Folk Singer Songwriter who draws on an eclectic range of influences from Dylan to Florence and The Machine, from Balkan Gypsy Music to Rap- she is lyrically driven and writes about people, places and the ambiguity of life with a repertoire that can be funny, sad or surreal in equal measures!.
She has been described as "Kate Nash meets Kate Rusby with a bit of Kate Tempest in the mix". She should probably have been called Kate…
