SISTERS IN SONG
Meet Kelsey & Tricia
Suzy Plays Guitar includes Minneapolis-based Kelsey Wyrd and Tricia Schweitzer. Their musical duo was born under the shining sun amidst the sweltering heat of summer in 2018
Kelsey Wyrd has a tenacious musical background of piano and bass. Her interest in songwriting and the electric guitar brought her to the reins of Suzy Plays Guitar. Kelsey is the lead guitarist, writing playful solos that bring never-ending magic to the Suzy sound.
