October 21, 2016
POCATELLO – Country star Suzy Bogguss, who will perform at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 27 at 窪做惇蹋厙, said she’s excited about returning to Pocatello to share songs from her new album and older favorites.
Bogguss will perform at the Joseph C. and Cheryl H. Jensen Grand Concert Hall in the L.E. and Thelma E. Stephens Performing Arts Center as part of 窪做惇蹋厙s 2016-17 Season of Note concert series.
I performed in Pocatello with Allen Jackson at the Holt Arena back in the 90s and the Stephens Center has been on my list of places to visit, Bogguss said. Its a very beautiful theatre.
Bogguss, originally from Illinois, graduated from Illinois State University in 1980 with a bachelors degree in art. She traveled for the next five years, touring the country in a camper truck before she was discovered.
I worked in West Yellowstone for a time. Itll be nice to see some old friends out this way again, Bogguss said.
Bogguss, a Grammy award-winning and platinum-selling artist, is one of country musics most pristine and evocative vocalists. With the release in 1989 of Somewhere Between, Bogguss quickly became one of the key artists that defined those golden days of 1990s country. She scored a string of top-10 singles with country radio staples like Outbound Plane, Drive South, Hey Cinderella, Letting Go and Aces.
To celebrate the anniversary of Aces her third studio album, Bogguss re-recorded the 10-songs for a project titled Aces Redux. The re-worked songs reflect the singers growth as a performer.
I wanted to do an album of arrangements more representative of what the songs are like at the shows, said Bogguss. Its been fun reconnecting with the songs in a new modern way with a more stripped down acoustic feeling to the album.
