Suzanne Santo: “Mercy”

By: Jack Anderson

If you know L.A. roots duo HoneyHoney or have watched shows like Medium and Without a Trace then you’re already acquainted with the talent bestowed in singer Suzanne Santo. But even the pre-existing fans might’ve missed the fact that Santo recently moved here to Austin to double down on her Americana-meets-Gothic-soul solo project.
