Susannah B, a talented singer-songwriter originally from New York City, has found a new muse in Laguna Beach, California. After moving from Los Angeles and exploring several coastal communities, she and her husband settled on Moss Cove as their part-time home. This connection to the area inspired her to compose “Laguna,” a heartfelt song that pays tribute to the vibrant spirit of the community she now calls home.
Upcoming Performance at Laguna Beach Cultural Arts Center
Susannah B will debut “Laguna” during a free concert scheduled for June 4 at 7:30 p.m. at the Laguna Beach Cultural Arts Center. This event is part of the Laguna Beach First Thursday Art Walk and will feature Susannah performing with her band, The Lowkeys. Known for their polished blend of adult contemporary, soulful pop-rock, and intimate jazz influences, The Lowkeys have previously shared stages with renowned artists like Lizzo, Beck, Lana Del Rey, and Tim McGraw.
Music as a Source of Healing and Connection
For Susannah B, music serves as a deeply healing force. Her songs often explore themes of heartbreak, recovery, and self-reflection. She has witnessed firsthand how music can transform lives through performances for teen mothers, homeless youth at risk, and people reintegrating into society after incarceration. The warm and welcoming atmosphere of the Laguna Beach Cultural Arts Center creates an ideal environment for these emotional connections between artist and audience.
“Laguna”: A Community Celebration
“Laguna” was first introduced during a previous performance at the same venue last September to an enthusiastic audience. Susannah B incorporated a sing-along section in the song to engage listeners directly, strengthening its connection to the local community. Beyond being a personal tribute, “Laguna” is offered as a gift to the town to help promote tourism and celebrate its unique character. Susannah’s affection for Laguna Beach shines through every note.
Adding to her musical legacy, Susannah B is the daughter of the late Carol Hall, an acclaimed composer and lyricist whose work has been recorded by legends such as Barbra Streisand and Dolly Parton.
A Night Honoring Home and Heritage
At the upcoming concert, audiences can look forward to hearing Susannah B’s original songs alongside reinterpretations of classics from her mother’s celebrated catalog. The evening promises a heartfelt celebration of home, community spirit, and healing power through music.
Susannah B’s journey from New York to Laguna Beach exemplifies how specific places inspire profound artistic expressions of belonging and love. Her song “Laguna” beautifully captures how songs about home can forge emotional bonds between people and places, turning them into cherished symbols of identity.
