GRAMMY-WINNING NEW YORKER SUSAN MCKEOWN TO SING AT LIVING ROOM IN CONCERT TO BE BROADCAST BY SIRIUS XM

BREATHTAKING AMERICANA-TINGED ALBUM 'BELONG' OUT NOVEMBER 13 WITH GREAT NEW YORK SONGS

GRAMMY Award-winning, Irish-born artist Susan McKeown, whose new album 'Belong' marks half of her life in the States, will perform a concert at the Living Room November 7, which will be taped and broadcasted by the Loft on SIRIUS XM. A stone's throw from her East Village residence, McKeown has long been a part of the songwriting community in NYC and she flies her flag as a New Yorker on great new songs like "On The Bridge to Williamsburg" and "Lullaby of Manhattan." The focus on 'Belong' remains solely on her breathtaking vocals.

In a distinguished career, McKeown has performed with Pete Seeger, Natalie Merchant, Linda Thompson, Billy Bragg, Arlo Guthrie and The Klezmatics. McKeown has recorded mariachi music, klezmer music, African music, Celtic music, and contemporary songwriting. She won a GRAMMY for 'Wonder Wheel,' in collaboration with the Klezmatics on lyrics by Woody Guthrie. In 2010, she made 'Singing in the Dark,' a fascinating exploration of creativity and madness.

She has performed throughout Europe and North America including Glastonbury, The Edinburgh Festival, Carnegie Hall and Disney Hall. In a concert review, Rolling Stone said, "McKeown grabbed both song and audience by the throat, dragged them through heaven and hell and back again, and left the stage to the loudest applause heard all evening."
