Sue
Moreno got in touch with various musical styles from an early age on,
thanks to a musical upbringing. At age 15 she formed her first band 'Memphis'
while attending musicschool.
In the beginning of the 90s she left for the USA where she appeared at
various clubs on the Eastcoast.
Returning
home to the Netherlands, she started singing harmony vocals in a band
covering the 70s period of Elvis Presley.
Out of this band arose 'The Original El'Bootlegs', that went on as Susan
When She Tried. The music they played was the music closest to her heart:
a style combining rock 'n' roll and country, rockabilly and blues.
Sue obtained her master degrees in film and tv including acting and directing.
Early 1997, the band Sue and the Flaming Stars was put together. The musical
style can best be described as rockabilly with influences of rock 'n'
roll, latin, rhythm and blues and country.
Sue also pursued in writing her own material. She appeared as a guest
musician in several r&rbands like the Chevy Cats and Tear it Up. With
the latter she sang in the last European tour of Paul Burlison and Rocky
Burnette.
Sue has been captured on various national and international TV programs,
radio broadcasts and media.
In 2001 Sue performed with Marco Di Maggio at the Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly
Weekender. That was the start of a fruitful collaboration between the
two. It was followed up by a show at the International Rockabilly Fest
in Jackson, Tennessee, USA where she appeared with the legendary Paul
Burlison, DJ Fontana, Stan Perkins, The Comets and Ace Cannon. She also
gigged in Memphis that summer with The Dempseys and Paul Burlison.
Late December 2002, Sue's first solo CD for Rarity Records called 'All
I Can Do Is Dream You' had been released.
Sue appeared on many Elvis-related shows like A Blue and White Xmas (De
Melkweg, Netherlands), Elvis Memorial Festival (013, Netherlands), various
Elvismeetings in Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands which gave her the
honorable title of 'The Female Elvis'.
Sue could be seen as a singer and dancer in various theatershows like
'The Country Music Hall of Fame' (2003).
In the summer of 2003, Sue started working with Marco DiMaggio, writing,
recording and performing.
Late 2003 Sue toured America's West coast.
Her American back up band consisted of Buddy Holly phenomenon John Mueller,
Ed Maxwell on bass and Sammy K on drums.
They performed at hot rockabilly places like
the Dollhut, the Rumble Bar and the Continental Room.
Sue joined the incredible 28-piece Jack Million Big Band, singer Friso
and 'master' DJ and producer Eddy de Clercq. In June 2004 the album 'Night
and Day' had been released on which Sue can be heard as a guestsinger,
adding lead-and backing vocals. The album went straight to the top 10
