“Once there was a girl who seemed to have the world 
Everything that everyone said was very nice 
and they were right, but… it was wrong. 
In her heart there was a space where love belonged. 

Then one night she heard her feelings in the words 
of a song sung by a man she didn’t recognize, 
but In his eyes she saw the life 
she remembered once dreaming of…” 

And so it began. Two solo performers at an open mic in Fairfax, CA. Just two artists admiring each other from a distance. Yet, there was an undeniable pull that brought us together. When we perform our songs, we celebrate love, music, and the community we have the pleasure of building with you. 

A Hither performance is about connection; with each other and with our audience. We want to share our stories with you and give space to feelings about growing older, moving on, forgiving ourselves, feeling beautiful, finding love again, and getting lost in the pale moon shine. 

We blend vocal harmony with alternate guitar tunings and light hand percussion to create a rich sound with a soulful pulse. 

 Hither is a San Francisco based duo featuring singer songwriter Suzanne Kramer (The Sugar Ponies, ♡ just Suzanne) with instrumentalist producer Mark Jeffery (The Mobile Homeboys, originator of ProTools). 

Delicate and nuanced, their music blends traditional acoustic instruments with evocative electronic timbres.  Sultry vocals with rich harmonies evoke a sense of unabashed vulnerability and intimacy. 

Suzanne’s voice is reminiscent of Julie London, Norah Jones, Hope Sandoval (Mazzy Star) and others, yet with a unique quality that is hers alone.  In 2017 she revisited her first musical love with a collection of jazz standards titled When We Fell In Love. 

Mark is a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and vocalist. He’s equally comfortable in the studio and on stage. He has the unique distinction of being the original software developer of the industry standard Pro Tools audio system.  He brings a broad range of talents to Hither; various stringed instruments, sampling and synthesis, along with earthy harmony vocals that pair well with Suzanne’s silky voice.
