Suzie and Ben Bradford lead the indie/pop band Goodnight Suzie. The evolution of Goodnight Suzie from the renowned Seattle cover band “The Side Project,” with a rich history spanning six albums and performances across the Northwest since 2004, gives them a compelling distinctness. The debut album, “Boombox” (2019), received acclaim from Music Connection Magazine. Suzie and Ben’s diverse instrumentation comprises acoustic and electric guitars, violin, bass, keyboard, organ, piano, and percussion, whether they perform as a duo or with a full band.
I am beyond impressed with Goodnight Suzie’s single “Free.” What a composition! What an aura! The song is a mix of emotion and fun in equal amounts. Despite the absence of beats, the song effortlessly made me tap my foot and sing along, thanks to the fun and crisp guitar riffs.

The collective skill of the violins eloquently conveys the song’s emotional intensity. Each note strikes a chord, creating a beautiful melody. Suzie’s vocal performance is nothing short of exceptional. Her vocal work is graceful, passionate, and hypnotic. The repetitive chorus, especially the variations on the phrase “Free,” gains additional magic with Ben’s accompaniment, adding to the overall charm. Around the halfway point of the song, the violin performance reaches a crescendo that is magnificently cinematic. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve pressed the play button!
