We are thrilled to welcome back another brilliant guitarist to play her third gig in our intimate basement venue. Not to be missed!

Based in Madrid, Susan Santos is a passionate, self-taught guitarist. A left-handed guitarist, she writes her own songs that reflect her unique blend of rhythm and textures which celebrates her abilities as a creative force, and as a truly unique artist in her own right.

The gifted Spanish guitarist and singer songwriter has spent years performing in famous and established venues, and numerous festivals throughout Europe, Mexico, and America. She has shared the stage with ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons and won “Best Musician Performance” at the 2018 European Blues Awards. She also “Best Female Album” at then 2019LA Critics’Awards.

Santos has recorded five albums including “Take Me Home” (2010), "Shuffle Woman” (2012), “Electric Love” (2014), “Skin & Bones” (2016), “No U Turn” (2018), and“The L.A. Sessions” EP(2020).

Susan’s outstanding voice and appealing guitar style, alongwith her strong stage presence has proven to be a refreshing experience in the contemporary blues scene.

“She is a guitarist with a special magnetism. She is an absolute professional, serious, and solvent.” – Billy Gibbons

“Susan Santos is a guitar hero. She is a monster in the studio, overdubbing well performed layers of guitar that sound live and immediate.” – Blues Blast Magazine

“Santos has an understated confidence that bubbles to the top, via snaking guitar lines… full of energetic arrangements, and sparkling solos.” – Get Ready To Rock

“No U Turn” fits together seamlessly and flowslike the best albums always do, as Santos shapes her material with the kind of gusto that has led her to winning the ‘Best Performer’ category at the European Blues Awards. “No U Turn” was also the Independent Blues Broadcaster’s Association’s 5th most played album.

Santos’ forthcoming studio album “Sonora,” is the album of the desert, and of the desert people. The songs tell stories ranging from survival, thirst, outlaws, escape and freedom against a backdrop of scorpions, lizards, and roadrunners. Before listening, it is highly recommended to embark on your journey with a full tank and don’t pick up hitchhikers.
