Susan Carson is a Cleveland-based electric indie rock duo creating  cinematic, emotionally charged songs that blend memorable melodies with unexpected textures and fearless musicianship.

 

Fronted by Susan Carson’s powerful vocals and shimmering guitar, and driven by Rikk Mayr’s melodic, hard-hitting bass, the duo builds a rich, expansive sound through layered keyboards, electronic elements and dynamic rhythms.

 

Drawing inspiration from alternative rock, dream pop, shoegaze, jazz and beyond, Susan Carson crafts songs that are both intimate and explosive-- music that rewards close listening while delivering the energy of a live rock show.

 

Their live performances are immersive, polished, and engaging, inviting audiences into a concert experience where every song tells a story and every performance a discovery. This is a duo that pulls the room in and holds it in a true listen-up concert experience.

 

Together, Susan Carson and Rikk Mayr bring many years of professional performance experience to a project rooted in original music, creative exploration, and a genuine connection with the audience.
