Sunday, Plumas Arts is excited to host local vocalist Suzanne de Martimprey, who will be performing on and off during the day. Suzanne is a folk-inspired singer songwriter who has been writing for over 10 years. Lyrically, her original music explores the realms of love and loss, utilizing haunting melodies and soul stirring rhythms. While she has been professionally trained in many different styles of vocal performance, she is entirely self-taught on the guitar.
