Suzie Ungerleider Announces North Newbald Date on April UK Tour

Imagine the kind of music that tells a story, the sort that makes you feel like you’re sitting around a campfire, even if you’re just in a village hall. That’s the sort of magic heading to Yorkshire this spring. Award-winning Canadian singer-songwriter Suzie Ungerleider is bringing her incredible talent to the UK, and she's making a special stop in North Newbald.

For anyone who loves authentic, heartfelt music, this is a date for the diary. The tour celebrates the release of the deluxe edition of her acclaimed album, Among the Evergreens, and it promises an evening of stunning storytelling and beautiful melodies. On April 18, 2026, the Newbald Village Hall will host an intimate performance from a truly world-class songwriter.

Who exactly is Suzie Ungerleider?

For those who have been following the folk and Americana scene for a while, the name Suzie Ungerleider might ring a bell, but perhaps under a different guise. For many years, she performed under the moniker Oh Susanna, building a reputation for powerful lyrics and a voice that can stop you in your tracks. In 2021, she began releasing music under her own name, continuing a tradition of brilliant storytelling that has earned her multiple JUNO nominations (Canada's version of the BRITs). Her unique brand of music is a blend of folk and Americana, genres known for their focus on narrative and emotional honesty. Think of it as music with a soul, where every word matters. Suzie's songs are filled with personal experiences, exploring life's journey from teenage hood to motherhood with a raw honesty that is both refreshing and deeply relatable. Her captivating voice brings these stories to life, inviting listeners into her world. This incredible songwriter is also currently nominated for English songwriter of the year at the 2026 Canadian Folk Music Awards, a testament to her skill and artistry.

What's the story behind the album Among the Evergreens?

The album at the heart of this tour, Among the Evergreens, is a deeply personal piece of work. It’s a record that looks at life from the middle, reflecting on the past while navigating the present. Suzie Ungerleider herself described the creative process perfectly: “Here I am making songs back among the evergreens, a prodigal daughter, who is now a mother, asking, who was I then and who am I now, where have I been and what did I learn along the way?” This quote perfectly captures the album's spirit

It’s divided into two parts, "Then" and "Now," tracing a path through different stages of life. The songs cover everything from the confusing days of teenage hood to the profound changes that come with motherhood. It’s a musical journey through love, heartbreak, forgiveness, and survival. The album received rave reviews, with Uncut Magazine calling it “thoughtful, luminous, expressive” and Mojo Magazine giving it a four-star review. This isn't just an album; it's a collection of life experiences, set to beautiful music, offering real emotional depth that connects with listeners.

A special deluxe edition and a gig in Newbald

So, why the tour now? It's all in celebration of the deluxe edition of Among the Evergreens, which is set for release on March 13, 2026. This new version isn't just a simple re-release. It dives even deeper into the heart of the songs. It features brand-new acoustic versions of tracks like ‘Juniper’ and ‘Real Estate’, stripping them back to their core. These acoustic versions were recorded in the Netherlands with the renowned Dutch guitarist BJ Baartman, who will also be joining Suzie on stage for the North Newbald show. Imagine the songs you love, but with a fresh, intimate feel that lets the powerful lyrics shine even brighter. On top of that, the deluxe edition includes a stunning new single called ‘Amsterdam’, co-written with the duo Whitehorse. The main event for Yorkshire locals is, of course, the gig itself. On April 18, 2026, Suzie Ungerleider and BJ Baartman will perform at the Newbald Village Hall in North Newbald. It's a fantastic opportunity to see a celebrated international singer-songwriter in a cosy, local venue. This folk and Americana music night in Newbald is set to be a memorable one.

The magic of live music

There's something special about seeing a musician like Suzie perform live. Her songs, already rich with storytelling and emotion on the album, take on a new life on stage. She has a real passion for connecting with her audience, creating a shared experience that's hard to replicate. As she explains, "There is nothing like experiencing the energy of the people in the room, all listening and feeling together. It is that musical communion that really makes songs complete". An evening at the Newbald Village Hall will be exactly that – a communion through music. It’s a chance to be part of an intimate audience, feeling the emotional depth of each song. The performance will be filled with heartfelt music and vivid storytelling that sticks with you long after the final note has been played. It's a unique opportunity to witness an exceptional singer-songwriter and the talented Dutch guitarist BJ Baartman create something special in a friendly, local setting.
