A native of Baltimore, now longtime citizen of Los Angeles, Susan has worked as an actor and theater improviser for many years (Film: 28 Days; TV: Mad Men, Shameless; Improv: War Babies, the Wims) but her passion has always been for the Music, performing at venues such as LACMA, Blue Whale, Vitello’s –— as well as in theaters and living rooms with her jazz salons, Theme Scene and Salon on Buffalo.
Following her critically acclaimed multimedia concert and recording project, JAZZ AVIARY, a Celebration of Birds & the Universal Music We Share, and working again with her longtime collaborators, Rich Eames and Jerry Kalaf, the Susan Krebs Band released Everything Must Change in 2012, featuring Chuck Manning.
Her most recent recording projects are with the Susan Krebs Chamber Band: “Simple Gifts” released in 2015, and “SPRING ~ Light Out of Darkness”, released in March, 2018; and with her collaborative trio’s recent recording, “trio WoRK” in September, 2018.
Recently, Susan’s longitme passion project, JAZZ AVIARY, returned in concert in its newest incarnation after a near decade’s hiatus. More concerts to come.
An avid gardener and bird lover, Krebs says her work is “about the art of becoming – whether working with plants or music or with oneself – to dig down, to cultivate, to encourage growth, to thrive and flourish, and eventually to let go and begin the cycle anew.”
