Press release –
Acclaimed Canadian singer-songwriter Suzie Ungerleider (pronounced Unger-lye-der) today shares ‘The Prize (Live from the Woodshed),’ the first installment in a new series of live performance videos celebrating her most recent album Among the Evergreens.
Released June 6, 2025, via MVKA, the album is Suzie’s eleventh studio release and has earned glowing international reviews, marking a powerful chapter in her evolution as an artist, storyteller, and woman returning home to herself.
With Among the Evergreens now out in the world, Suzie is eager to bring the songs to life on stage during her upcoming Ontario and Quebec fall tour, which includes performances at London’s Aeolian Hall on October 22 with Abigail Lapell and Toronto’s Hugh’s Room on October 26. “There is nothing like experiencing the energy of the people in the room all listening and feeling together. It is that musical communion that really makes songs complete,” shares Suzie.
Adding to the momentum, Suzie has been named an official showcase artist at the 2025 Folk Music Ontario Conference. Looking ahead, she is thrilled to announce 2026 dates in Alberta and Europe. All upcoming dates and details can be found at www.suzieungerleider.com.
Among the Evergreens is the revered Americana singer-songwriter’s narrative. Emerging under her own name in 2021 after retiring from her long-time moniker, Oh Susanna, Among the Evergreens is Suzie’s most personal album yet and continues the thrice JUNO-nominated artist’s celebrated tradition of telling stories.
Suzie’s beautifully evocative and atmospheric songs may draw the listener into her world but they are universally relatable, traversing the typical chapters of a person’s life. These are tales about teenagehood, the loss of innocence, the breakdown of relationships, young love, marriage, motherhood, survival and second chances, fights and forgiveness. And they are utterly captivating.
Divided into two parts: “Then” and “Now” – songs inspired by the past and by the present – we listen to Suzie reflecting on what it means to be in the middle of life, seeking answers to who she was and who she is now.
The imagery of the outdoors, of green valleys and trees shedding their leaves, infuses this new collection. It was written in Suzie’s hometown of Vancouver, a city among the evergreens – the cherished place to which she returned after being lured by the thrill and promise of Toronto.
As depicted on the cover of Among the Evergreens, you can often find Suzie, lost in thought while walking her dog among the evergreens, on a trail near her house called the Trans Canada Trail. This trail epitomizes Vancouver, where dramatic natural scenery merges with industry, mountains, and water. Flanked by the railroad and ships entering the harbour, it provides the backdrop where the first fragments of her songs take shape, revealing the depth of her immense writing talent.
Among the Evergreens is an ode to self-reflection and the layers of life we accrue. This deeply touching record asks who we are after the loss of innocence, the near misses, the milestones and the transformations. Suzie beckons you to walk among the evergreens with her.
Suzie Ungerleider’s gloriously emotive, crystalline voice and her bewitching performances have captivated audiences for over 25 years. A wordsmith with a keen mind for detail and a wicked sense of humour, Suzie’s songs and voice pierce the heart and inspire a knowing laugh or a welling of the eye.
Born in the USA and raised in Vancouver, Canada, this award-winning singer-songwriter began performing under the name Oh Susanna in the mid-1990s, winning instant praise for her striking voice and poetic songcraft. Her musical path has crisscrossed the mountains and valleys of Americana, folk, and roots, yet throughout her journey, she has remained true to her artistic vision.
Suzie has received many accolades for her artistry. She is the recipient of a Genie Award for Best Original Song and a Canadian Folk Music Award for English Songwriter of the Year. She has also been nominated for three Juno Awards and four Canadian Folk Music Awards.
After being a long-time member of the Toronto roots music scene, Suzie currently lives in her hometown of Vancouver with her husband, her daughter and their dog Willow.
