Sue Foley is known for her fiery Texas blues style and unmistakable guitar tone. Her latest album, One Guitar Woman: A Tribute to the Female Pioneers of Guitar, was nominated for the 2025 GRAMMY® Award for Best Traditional Blues Album and earned her the 2025 Blues Music Award for Best Acoustic Album in Memphis this past May. On it, Foley delivers a stunning acoustic performance honoring trailblazers like Maybelle Carter, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Ida Presti, and Lydia Mendoza, showcasing their diverse musical styles—from blues and country to flamenco and classical.

Foley’s signature pink paisley Fender Telecaster and masterful fingerstyle technique have made her one of the most respected guitarists in modern blues. She has released 15 albums and collaborated with Blues legends such as B.B. King, Buddy Guy and Jimmie Vaughan. She’s a five-time consecutive Blues Music Award winner, a JUNO Award recipient, and holds a PhD in Musicology from York University.
