Susan Rowe is a transgender singer-songwriter currently living in Takoma Park, Maryland. She has won seven awards in the Mid-Atlantic Song Contest, and her debut CD Lessons in Love was a Wammie Nominee in 2018 for Best Folk Artist and Best Folk Album. In 2019, she was recognized as a Top 5 category winner in the Great American Song Contest.
