Bio
Suzanne
Glass is a music junkie.
Once bitten
with the musician bug over 20 years ago, she was hooked. Within
the first year of picking up the guitar, she had written more
than 100 songs, signed 2 publishing contracts, taught herself
the rudiments of multi-track recording, and recorded a 10 song
album in the basement.
Glass finished
a second album in 1991, and additional releases in 1995, 1997,
and 1999. Her self-titled 1997 CD was widely downloaded on the
internet during the original heyday of MP3, with the song "Guilty
By Association" receiving more than 500,000 downloads.
Influenced
by such artists as Ann & Nancy Wilson of Heart, Elton John,
and The Indigo Girls, Glass has experimented with folk, blues
rock, and even hard rock. In the end, her heart lies with songwriting
and acoustic music.
Strongly
interested in audio, Glass has always taken an active role in
recording music.
In 1995, she built a pro 24 track studio, Glass House Recording,
from the ground up in an old 1900's store. Husband Paul Bultman
came on board as chief engineer, and he and Glass produced a
series of artists through their Throwing Stones record label
in addition to running a commercial recording studio.
Throughout
the early 1990's, Glass learned the finer points of artist development,
promotion, and the music business. Local musicians began to
call on her for business advice, which led to further experience
in management, production, writing, and teaching. She also founded
CD Replication Company, Glass House CD.
In 1996,
Glass developed Indie-Music.com,
a destination for independent musicians on the web, and the
project that has taken up the lion's share of her time for more
than a decade. First started as a way to help fellow local musicians,
the website has since grown into one of the most respected indie
music sites worldwide, visited by more than 1 million musicians
annually.
Ready to
revisit her songwriting and acoustic roots, Glass plans to begin
hosting "Acoustic Tuesdays"
in 2011, a monthly songwriters jam night open to friends and
invited guests.
