Susan Cowsill grew up as the youngest member of the Cowsills, the family pop group that inspired The Partridge Family and charted several hits in the late 1960s. But it was in New Orleans, where she moved as an adult, that she truly came into her own as an artist.
In New Orleans, Cowsill became a fixture of the Frenchmen Street and broader roots music scene, collaborating with the city's best musicians and developing a songwriting voice informed by her new home's rich traditions. She became a central figure in the musical community that formed around the city's recovery after Hurricane Katrina.
