Cicada Suite by Sue Fink
In 2016, inspired by the unusually loud cicadas, Sue wrote two cicada-related songs, which comprise her CICADA SUITE.
In 2021, as the "Brood X" cicadas emerged all over the East coast, after 17 years underground -- and as WE started to emerge from pandemic isolation -- Sue professionally recorded these songs and released them on a cicada-shaped flash drive, specially designed by her friend Rebecca Jasso. Included on the 1GB drive are .wav and .mp3 files, and .pdf files of the lyrics, artwork, and song credits. Sue created only a small "brood" of these cicada drives, and there are still some left, beautifully packaged as keepsake gifts. These are available ONLY from her website at https://suefink.com/cs/
Here on Bandcamp, Sue is also releasing the Cicada Suite digitally. "Sisters and brothers, let's sing 'til we die"! Please enjoy, and thank you for supporting Sue's projects! (Note: both songs are finalists in the "Special Music" category in the 2021 Great American Song Contest! https://www.greatamericansong.com/winners.php

Chicago-based singer-songwriter Sue Fink enchants audiences with her whimsical perspective on the world. Her genre, “urban campfire cabaret,” is folk with a hint of jazz, a large dollop of humor, and a drop of sadness for good measure: think Christine Lavin, with a dash of Rickie Lee Jones, Melanie, and Nellie McKay.
