Album Notes

Following 10 years on the international circuit with vocal powerhouse, FRUIT, the fiery REDHEAD of that superbly acclaimed group brings REDHEAD to the stage.

My name is Susie Keynes, I am a fiery redhead and I confess I love to rock.
I am a quintessential rocker girl who chooses a guitar for its tone first and then for its colour. When both are happening its a very good day.

I have notched up a lot of years on the road - the last dozen with the relentlessly dynamic and road wearing band, FRUIT. We have toured tirelessly to much of the world, made 8 records, sold around 100,000 of them and carved a life of independence and great satisfaction. That journey now rests...

INTRODUCING REDHEAD.

REDHEAD is Susie Keynes on acoustic and electric guitars, CJ Rhodes on Bass and Yanya Boston on Drums. A bright, tight three-piece, REDHEAD delivers a sonic punch shifting between acoustic plaintiveness and the explosion of raucous girl-rock.

With the freshness of any young band, REDHEAD combines a bristling energy, great songwriting, ear-tugging tunes, seasoned players and the size-defying vocals of a none-too-diminuitive redhead.

With her prime influences tagged as Joni Mitchell and Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders, the REDHEAD agenda is to create music that not only rocks the audience, but has them hanging off every word. Teaming up with UK producer Paul Gomersall (Blur, Kate Bush, George Michael) REDHEAD has just completed the recording of it\'s debut release, ORDINARY GIRL. Susie\'s stand alone vocal sits atop a soundscape that captures gritty brit-rock, breathy ballads and soaring anthemic choruses.

Strong songs lasooed by a tight and edgy band.
If it is to be genrefied, let it be SONGWRITER-ROCK. There are stories and meanings being told here that reach far beyond their ear-tugging hooks.

This is REDHEAD. Enjoy.

\"In my experience music is a powerful communicator.. If it rocks us - so be it, if it gently moves us - so be it, ultimately it connects us.\" Susie Keynes
