SPOTLIGHT ON

SUZY BOGGUSS AT THE MUSICAL INSTRUMENT MUSEUM

 

Suzy Bogguss brought her matchless vocals, entertaining personality, and stellar Nashville band to the MIM on December 5, 2025.


Suzy Bogguss' "A Swingin' Little Christmas" was a festive and entertaining evening.  The show features a mix of traditional Christmas standards, original holiday songs, and Bogguss' legendary hits, creating a joyful atmosphere for all ages.  The performances are praised for their charm, warmth, and the engaging nature of the audience participation, which adds to the fun and excitement of the show.  Suzy's rich and fluid voice is highlighted, delivering sentimental songs and lively performances that resonate with the holiday spirit.  The show is described as a joyous and spontaneous event, with the audience's spirit and participation making each performance unique.  Overall, "A Swingin' Little Christmas" is a delightful Christmas show that captures the essence of the holiday season and leaves a lasting impression on its audience.


Bogguss has a special bond with her audiences, and her charisma filled the theater with warmth. This diverse concert featured an eclectic mix of her greatest hits, Christmas standards, original holiday music, jazz, swing, country and bluegrass.  


More on Suzy:

Bogguss is a living legend of country music with an impressive resume, having earned eight Top 10 hits throughout the 1990’s before exploring new music influences. You can call her a country singer, but that’s really just the beginning.


Her string of hits has stood the test of time. From Grammy Award-winning performances to platinum-selling records, she has earned her stripes as a versatile singer-songwriter, producer and road warrior along the way.

In addition to her touring gigs, Bogguss hosts Wine Down Wednesdays, a monthly livestream at 5 p.m. CST featuring singers and songwriters such as Brandy Clark, Mandy Barnett and Billy Dean. Launched in 2020, the livestreams have strengthened her bonds with both musician friends and fans. “I didn’t know how good it would be for my heart, and I didn’t predict how much it would increase the attendance at my concerts,” she comments.


Her latest album, “Prayin’ for Sunshine,” was written during the lockdown and recorded at her home. “This is the first time I’ve written my whole album,” says Bogguss. It offers a mix of Southern storytelling, gorgeous vocals and organic instrumentation that showcases her country and Americana roots. 

Bogguss loves to cook, and every year for her December birthday, she hosts a party at her home in Tennessee. These evenings feature not only big pots of soup for 70 guests, but also jam sessions among her dinner guests, including Tommy Emmanuel, Keb’ Mo’, Sam Bush, Mac Davis, Gary Nicholson, and even Reba. 

Her birthday dinners are memorialized in her recent book, “Suzy’s Soup Night,” a celebration of soups, stews, chilis and chowders that pairs recipes with photos by her husband, songwriter Doug Crider. Pre-autographed copies—an ideal Christmas gift for friends and family—are available for sale on her website.
