"Seattle artist, Susan Harper, plays a live show that is not to be missed! Earthy, soulful vocals and funky acoustic guitar work are enhanced with Susan's catchy, insightful songcrafting." KEXP Radio DJ Michele Myers

The Electric Conspiracy writes music together and rocks a groove of collaboration. We are a tight, funky, bluesy rock band!

The Acoustic Conspiracy is Susan solo with her guitar and sometimes a rotating cast of top notch musicians who explore jazz, ballad and folk.

When she was young they called her "incorrigible." She always looked for the next adventure and shunned boredom. Born in Spain, the youngest of a family of five, her mother is British, and the man who she believed was her father was in the US Air Force. They got a divorce when Susan was 4 years old. Her mom later remarried a different Air Force man. During all this, they moved a lot.

Finally landing in Spokane, WA., Susan found out her true roots. Her quest for understanding and acceptance led her to find out she really had a Spanish father. She was 25 years old at the time. All this just adds fuel to her creative spirit. Susan writes songs that illustrate her life – unpredictable.

Early on, Susan started playing guitar with a little formal training and a lot of winging it. Singing and strumming cover tunes was one of her favorite pastimes. Moving to Seattle in 1992, Susan started writing her own songs, and performing them at countless venues from outdoor festivals to intimate settings, all the while sharing the stage with some of Seattle's finest musicians.

Susan continues to have an abundance of energy and thrives on being creative.

As a vocalist and songwriter, she is continually practicing and studying. She recently discovered Jazz Camp West in San Francisco; and in Seattle she's studied with vocal coach Andy Shaw, Robert Lunte and Gretta Matassa. In 2006, she completed the University of Washington Song Writing Certificate Program where she studied with the legendary Sue Ennis (Heart, Lovemongers) and Christy McWilson (The Pickets). Her song, The Climb, appeared on the Seattle Songwriters Collective CD, Exposed. And in 2008, Susan released her debut CD, Unpredictable.

Scott is the owner of an awesome moving company called www.nicemovesmoving.com so when he's not hauling something for someone, he plays guitar for himself – and thankfully, the rest of us, too.

An electrician by trade makes the perfect career choice for an adventurous guitar player with an electric personality.

Vernon Lawton began playing drums at age 3 and spent his formative years studying and performing orchestral percussion and playing in jazz and rock bands. He lived in the California Bay area in the 80's and performed with nationally renowned classic rock musicians from CCR, The Band, and Buddy Miles. When he moved to Seattle, he became very active in the local jazz improvisation scene. His unique style which spans many genres paired with his orchestral and lyrical approach to the drums, regarding them as a tonal instrument rather than a strict time-keeping device, has garnered him much acclaim in local musician's circles. He currently plays original jazz with Tolex Sol, as well as joining to support Miles from Chicago and Radio Dadyo.
