Suzie Merwine~Country Music, Singer~Songwriter
Probably to borrow the words from a Barbara Mandrell and George Jones duet, “I was Country when Country wasn’t coolâ€, best describes Suzie’s life. When the entire world was memorized by the Beatles, Suzie’s entire life was focused on those artists that still today dominate her love for Real Country Music. Among her favorites were Buck Owens, George Jones, Tammy Wynette, Loretta Lynn, Connie Smith, Lynn Anderson, Merle Haggard, and of course Willie Nelson. What she learned through the years from their fine talents has made her the artist she is today. Being a singer, songwriter Suzie focuses her music around Traditional Country. Backed by excellent musicians straight off the Opry floor in Nashville, TN this unique marriage brings out the very best in each song, making “Daddy’s Martin†very much in tune with the best of today’s Traditional Country Music.
Being born and raised in the beautiful farm country of Effort, Pennsylvania set the perfect stage for a songwriter's mind. Suzie Merwine now releases her fourth album, "Daddy's Martinâ€. Making way for this release, her last albums, "Cajun Fiddle Blues" and "Bring the Woman Out in Me" saw many firsts in Suzie's career. Between the two albums, Suzie was blessed with six #1 hits including "I Thank you", "Cajun Fiddle Blues", "Please Tell Me What to Do", "Walk Me Thru The Steps", "Mind of A Fool", and "You and Your Baby Blues", which also earned Suzie Song of the Year at Nashville's Airplay International Golden Globe 2000 awards, Female Artist of the Year at Nashville Airplay International Awards, and Female vocalist of the Year through the ICMA of Germany
Suzie's newest release "Daddy's Martin" is being referred to as, hard core traditional and
the best work she's ever done. The album portrays a songwriter's mind, and brings it
together with Suzie's signature Traditional Country Sound, making it by far her strongest
yet. Featuring 14 Great Country Songs, Suzie once again was accompanied by musicians
straight from the floor of the Grand Ole Opry, along with Kathy Lee…one of Nashville's finest background vocalists. Having much faith in their talents, Suzie is backed by the same musicians at every recording session, "It just would not be the same without them, they're my strength in the studio", admits Suzie. Just being released, "Daddy's Martin" has already proven to be an album that is certainly a must to the "traditional country music lover". How far will this album go…God willing, all over the world? At this time in her career, Suzie feels her heart is on fire. She is now accomplishing things that at one time she felt only possible in her dreams. She very willingly admits, the folks and fans that believe in her, and the wonderful DJ's that so kindly air her music, are her greatest assets.
Starting her own Publishing Company, Merwine Publishing, in 1998, Suzie is an affiliated writer for BMI, and also a member of the Harry Fox Agency.

Daddy's Martin - Suzie Merwine
Barry Wass, Host of The Honky Tonks & Heartaches Show Melbourne Australia
Right from the opening bars of “Can You Tell Me Where To Startâ€, you know
that you are in for a treat of Real country music. Suzie's unique voice
takes you through14 tracks, a kaleidoscope of emotive lyrics and honest to
goodness country sounds. Further evolving the promise that she showed with her
album Cajun Fiddle Blues, this cd showcases her talent not only as a great
singer but an inspired songwriter. She writes from the heart and sings
about the ups and downs of love that most of us can empathize with.
The title song, “Daddy’s Martin†displays the theme that traditional country music likes to show and with the inclusion of Johnny Counterfeit, makes this a stand out
track. Accompanied by a first rate band of musicians with Wayne Bridge
replacing Jim Vest on steel and Stan Smith on drums the group is led once
again by Mike Baker on guitar. Tim Atwood, David Russell, Dave Rowe and John
Heinrich to complete a tight backing group, many being musicians off the floor of the Grand Ole Opry.
Suzie Merwine is another of those singers who as yet have been ignored by
major labels. Make no mistake however she has displayed the talent and
tenacity that keeps Real Country music alive and kicking.
