Sue Foley (born March 29, 1968) is a Canadian blues singer and guitarist.
Foley was born in Ottawa, Ontario, and spent her early childhood in Canada.
Foley started her professional career at sixteen. By twenty-one, Foley was living in Austin, Texas and recording for Antone’s, the blues label and historic nightclub. Her first release was Young Girl Blues.
Foley has toured steadily with her band, toting her signature pink paisley Fender Telecaster. In 2001, Sue won the Juno Award for her CD, Love Coming Down. Foley has also earned seventeen Maple Blues Awards and three Trophees de Blues de France. She has also garnered several nominations at the International Blues Music Awards in Memphis, Tennessee.
Foley collaborated on two albums with American blues guitarist Peter Karp, He Said, She Said in 2010 and Beyond the Crossroads in 2012. They toured in the US in support of the albums. The pair later decided to release a two album set, Karp's The Arson's Match and Foley's Change, and provide them as downloads on the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation's website in exchange for a donation to the Foundation.
