SUZI QUATRO NAMM 2020 INTERVIEW
Australian Musician caught up with American rock legend Suzi Quatro for an in-depth interview at the Winter NAMM Show this year. Suzi was in town to be honored at the 8th annual She Rocks Awards. We spoke about her beginnings, her long, successful career, her bass gear, the She Rocks Awards, her relationship with Australia, and she also revealed that she agreed on a motion picture deal based on her life story.
The interview was conducted for NAMM’s Oral History archive. The NAMM Oral History Collection is unique, unlike any other collection in the world. The heart of the Collection is the depth of its narratives that cover innovative creations, the evolution of musical instruments, the ever-changing world of music retail, as well as our collective quest to improve music education around the globe.
