Oh, Zsuzsanna !



I make the most interesting musical talent discoveries on Good Morning America than just about anywhere these days! Ms. Zsuzsanna Eva Ward- showed up on my television screen the last full week of July and I was very impressed with her music. She said that she had played for and with several big headline acts, including ZZ Top- not just as an opening act- and I loved the song (Help me Mama) she sang on the show which was from her latest studio LP The Storm. Have a look and listen and decide for yourself. The Castle Lady


     Known as ZZ Ward, she has been active as a professional singer since the age of 12 when she started out with her father’s band with her first song being Albert King’s ‘As the Years Go Passing By’. She is a relatively new artist since she had her official recording debut EP ‘Til the Casket Drops’ which came out in 2012. She has been compared to Tina Turner, Etta James and Aretha Franklin but what I hear is more original than that and she could vie with Sheryl Crow for rock sass. Her appearances include the 2014 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, Bonnaroo Music Festival and even a short turn on tour with Eric Clapton. You can find out more at www.zzward.com
