Suzanne Stern's Rumours Redux (2025) is a gritty, dream-like re-imagining of songs from Fleetwood Mac's seminal album, Rumours: an idiosyncratic juxtaposition of melodic post-rock and vintage dream pop in arrangements that feel at once fresh and familiar.

Suzanne was classically trained on woodwinds in her native Vermont, where she was an on-call performer and member of the Vermont Youth Orchestra. She picked up the electric bass and guitar as a teenager. 

After dropping out of New York University, Suzanne gigged with numerous NYC bands, interned at Dessau Recording Studios, and began producing her original compositions on a stolen four-track cassette recorder. 

She staked a claim in NYC's heavy music scene with art-rock/prog metal band Ruby Bullet and was lauded for her proficiency on bass, guitar, and vocals, and her technical, mixed-meter compositions. She released two self-produced albums with Ruby Bullet, recorded by Grammy winner Jason Corsaro (Soundgarden, Motörhead, Clutch)

As a session bassist, Suzanne performed and recorded with a host of NYC-area indie bands, including S3xdi6ital, The Tye Tribe, LASE, Victor Bravo, Ripe, Q*Ball, and Prince Charming, and shared the stage with acclaimed guitarists Aurelien Budynek and Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal. 

Now based in Southern Vermont, Suzanne produces music in her home studio. Her solo EP, Rumours Redux, was released in February 2025.
