Sue will be accompanied on stage on the 19th by her long time musical co-conspirator and best friend Jeff Bird.

Jeff says that it began for him in 1970 when he became possessed with all things musical and started buying instruments with a vengeance. Jeff is most well known for his long time association with The Cowboy Junkies right from their legendary recording of “The Trinity Sessions”. Over the last 20 years Jeff  has realized 9 recordings of his own work and has appeared as a session player and/or producer over 100 recordings! Jeff’s name can also be found in CD liner notes of  JUNO award winners Willie P Bennett and Stephen Fearing. When asked, Jeff can also answer the age old question, “How does one get to Carnegie Hall?” And, he can tell you how to get to Massey Hall and The Royal Albert Hall too. For that matter, he can also describe the decor of the dressing rooms.
