Sue Foley is a multi-award-winning blues guitarist, singer, and songwriter whose latest album, One Guitar Woman: A Tribute to the Female Pioneers of Guitar, earned a nomination for the 2025 GRAMMY® Award for Best Traditional Blues Album.

Known for her fiery guitar playing and soulful voice, Foley combines Texas blues grit with refined fingerstyle technique, whether performing on her signature pink paisley Fender Telecaster or a hand-built flamenco guitar.

Born in Ottawa, Canada, Foley began performing professionally at age 16 before making her mark in Austin, Texas, with the legendary Antone's Records. Since releasing her debut album, Young Girl Blues, in 1992, she has toured internationally and shared stages with legendary artists including B.B. King, Buddy Guy, and Billy F Gibbons.

Foley is a five-time consecutive winner of the Blues Music Award for Traditional Blues Female Artist (2020–2025) and has received numerous additional honors, including a JUNO Award and the 2024 Maple Blues Lifetime Achievement Award.

A passionate scholar as well as a performer, Foley holds a PhD in Musicology and is set to release her first book, Guitar Women, in 2026.

As the Philadelphia Inquirer wrote, "Foley has a killer voice, an impossibly alluring blend of sex and innocence to go with those blazing guitar chops."

With One Guitar Woman, Sue Foley honors the pioneering women who shaped guitar history while continuing to redefine what a guitar hero can be.
