Iconic singer/songwriter/musician SUSANNA HOFFS will release her new album SOMEDAY tomorrow, Tuesday, July 17 on her own label Baroque Folk, distributed by Welk Music Group. In celebration of the new CD, SUSANNA has confirmed engagements throughout the week, kicking off on the eve (tonight, July 16) of the release with an intimate show at The Grammy Museum in Los Angeles. The following morning (July 17), album release day, SUSANNA will perform on the Los Angeles morning TV show Good Day LA. Later in the week, she’ll film a segment for the nationally syndicated entertainment show Extra!, which will air later this month.
Last week HOFFS offered her fans a glimpse into the new material on SOMEDAY. AOL’s Spinner.com exclusively premiered “Picture Me,” a song which she explained is “about the burning desire to know where you stand with your significant other and, more importantly, whether the love you feel for them is truly reciprocated.” Listen here: http://www.spinner.com/2012/07/12/susanna-hoffs-picture-me-someday/.
In advance of the special album release event at the Grammy Museum, SUSANNA also offered an exclusive first listen of “Always Enough” to GRAMMY.com: http://www.grammy.com/news/grammycom-exclusive-first-listen-susanna-hoffs. The Monday, July 16 event at the museum’s The Clive Davis Theater will feature an interview, moderated by Grammy Museum Executive Director Bob Santelli, after which HOFFS will take audience questions and perform a selection of songs accompanied by a band led by SOMEDAY producer Mitchell Froom and featuring Elvis Costello’s Imposters rhythm section-drummer Pete Thomas and bassist Davey Faragher. For those unable to attend the Los Angeles show, Stage It is offering virtual front row tickets.

“This album was inspired by my yearning to sing songs that were as melodic and emotional as my favorite music of the 1960s,” SUSANNA says.
SOMEDAY also features the summery groove of “This Is the Place” and “Raining,” which SUSANNA wrote with Mike Campbell of the Heartbreakers back in 1989. “I rediscovered an old cassette of it in a box, and [musician Andrew] Brassell and I did a rewrite of it to bring it up to date,” she says. “And then there was ‘November Sun,’ a song I’d been carrying in my pocket since 1998. The melody was so natural to sing, and it had a baroque folk/pop style that ended up becoming the template for the rest of the album.”
