“I was just trying to get through a really, really long winter, like everybody else. “I was not looking for songs in Florida,” Werner says. Werner’s signature sharp lyrics capture the beauty and strangeness of the Sunshine State – from the playful lead track “Florida La La La” to the beach stroll of a love song “I Could Get Used To This” to the heartfelt and poetic “The Birds of Florida.” Produced by drummer Erik Johnson (Huffamoose), the lush arrangements feature Gulf and Western sounds ranging from rumba to reggae to bolero ballads to Bakersfield twang. “I wound up riding out the winter of the pandemic in Siesta Key near Sarasota,” Werner says, “And despite my best efforts to relax, I somehow left with an album.” Panthers iguanas and flamingoes meet up with dobros, bongos and marimbas on songwriter Susan Werner’s colorful new EP The Birds Of Florida.
