Grammy-winning and platinum-selling artist Suzy Bogguss is one to chase the muse wherever it may lead. On Saturday, May 30, it leads her to the historic Opera House stage in Boothbay Harbor for what promises to be one of the highlights of the 2026 summer season.

As a 2025 inductee into the Illinois Rock Hall of Fame and The Grand Ole Opry, Bogguss has covered country, swing, jazz, folk, Americana and roots music with style and grace. Her live performances, which include her hits and choice material from her critically acclaimed albums, have been lauded by fans and critics as a show not to miss.

During the creative explosion that was country music in the 1990s, Bogguss sold 4 million records with sparkling radio hits like “Outbound Plane,” “Someday Soon,” “Letting Go,” “Drive South” and “Hey Cinderella.” In the midst of her country popularity, she took time off to make a duets album with the legendary Chet Atkins and, in 2003, an album of modern swing music with Ray Benson of Asleep At The Wheel. In 2007, Bogguss’ album of original jazz landed her at No. 4 on the jazz charts. In 2009, her folk roots took the spotlight in her frequent appearances on “A Prairie Home Companion.” In 2014 she released “Lucky,” a collection of songs written by Merle Haggard and interpreted through Bogguss’ crystal vocals from the female point of view. Her latest offering, “Prayin’ For Sunshine,” is an Americana tour de force with all songs written by Bogguss.
