CRITIC'S PICKS: Suzy Bogguss: A Swingin’ Little Christmas
Suzy Bogguss: A Swingin’ Little Christmas
Wed., Dec. 17
Suzy Bogguss, Eddie's Attic - Country/pop singer Bogguss had her biggest burst of popularity in the late 80s and 90s and most have thought she had retired by now. But along came Prayin' for Sunshine (2023) and although it didn't reignite her career, it showed she was every bit as relevant to the 00s. As this show's title A Swingin' Little Christmas indicates though, she's in full holiday mode for these shows. Her sweet, silky, effervescent voice works well with peppy, rootsy, rearranged seasonal fare. And, with two full discs of Christmas music, she has enough material to make both performances a little different. Maybe, if she's in the mood, Bogguss will toss in a little something from her previous studio album too, but even if not, it's a treat to experience her talents in this intimate venue. - Hal Horowitz
