Suzanne McNeil: News

Lipstick and Laughs - April 16, 2010

Lipstick and Laughs Tour Kicks Off In Iowa

Singer Songwriters Jill Miller, Diona Devincenzi, and Suzanne McNeil kick off their Nashville style “IN THE ROUND, ON THE ROAD“ Show called LIPSTICK AND LAUGHS making their first stop on April 27th in Cherokee, Iowa at The Gathering Place. They will then be performing various “House Concerts” through May 1st in the Sioux City area.
House concerts are a fresh, new way to experience live music. A house concert can be a wonderful way to gather friends and family together and listen to live music without going out to a loud or noisy club. It’s a concert that is held in the comfort of your living room or backyard.

Diona Devincenzi is from Nashville, and has a vocal style that is rich in jazz and blues overtones. Suzanne McNeil is from Boston, Massachusetts whose sound reminds you of Sheryl Crow’s pop and rock roots. Sioux City’s Songbird Jill Miller has a reminiscent style of Amy Grant and Shania Twain.

All three women are songwriters, and most of their show will consist of their original songs. Their shows will be bringing a little bit of Nashville’s style of” in the round” songwriter’s nights held at such famous venues as the Bluebird Café and Douglas Corner right to the comfort of people’s homes. These three distinct styles combine together to create an amazing musical texture, not to mention some great storytelling and laughs.
All three women have their own solo careers and met in Nashville at a songwriting workshop sponsored by the Nashville Songwriter’s Association International. All three have individual solo CD projects available, as well as a special EP they have recorded in Nashville especially for this tour, including a theme song the trio wrote together called “Lipstick and a Laugh.”

Well it's been a long time coming. I am currently in the studio - and over half finished of my second cd. (still trying to figure out the name) I have had such a journey writing this cd. I have spent a lot of time in Nashville over the last few years, learning from the greats- I really hope it has helped my songwriting!- Some of the songwriters on this cd that I was lucky enough to write with, are Jim Ligor, my mom- Elizabeth McNeil, my brother Tommy McNeil, Jill Miller,Tim Mahoney,and Rachel Garlin. I am so happy that I have the same band from my first cd " Bliss". My Big Pile of Awesome never sounded so good!!
Tim Mahoney- guitars and vocals, Dave Leitch- bass guitars- electric and upright, and Jason Nute- drums- who also wrote the line in Lost in Boston "and the celtics in green, yaah I know they're gonna take 18"
