Susie McEntire Luchsingers smile is a genuine one -- and a familiar one. With more than a passing physical resemblance to her sister, Reba McEntire, Susie also shares her big sisters musical giftings. But Susie has directed her talents to the country gospel side of American Roots music garnering much acclaim from her peers and fans alike. In addition to numerous awards and nominations from TNN, GMA, and CCMA, Susie has been named Artist of the Year several times in the field of Positive Country Music. She has also scored four #1 singles on the Positive Country radio charts. However, more than her notoriety, it is Susies kindness and determination in the midst of difficulties and her genuine compassion for others that inspires people around her.

Susie often reflects about her early Christian experiences in her concerts, combining her wealth of songs (15 CDs to date) with inspiring life stories. The person who influenced me the most for Christ was my Grandma Smith who babysat me while my siblings went to school. It was by her example that I recognized what Christianity was all about not all about going to church it was about Him living His life through me, she says.

Raised on an Oklahoma ranch, Susie began singing as a teenager with her siblings, Pake and Reba, as the Singing McEntires. In 1980, after graduating from Oklahoma State University, Susie was again singing with her sister who, by this time, had become a country superstar. In addition to performing concerts for sold-out crowds, they made television appearances on programs such as The Johnny Carson Show, Hee Haw, and The Grand Ole Opry. Susie says, I learned so much in this short period of time little did I know that this travel time with Reba would help to prepare me for my own solo career in music.

Susie says she feels more energetic and positive about her music than ever before. AND she has been able to embark on a dream shes had for years: she is co-host of Cowboy Church on RFDtv. (Dish, Direct tv, and Comcast) My family has been in the ranching/rodeo world for four generations, and I am so pleased to be able to bring Jesus Christ to this audience in a down to earth, country style.

Susie released her 15th album, Let Go, in November 2008. Produced by Bill Aerts, who co-wrote two of the albums tracks, the 13 song eclectic collection includes songs written by Tom Shipiro, Gary Burr, Victoria Shaw, Amy Douglas, and Barrie Shorrock. The album gets its sound from diverse genres of music, from western swing to country, southern gospel and christian pop, classic rock and traditional hymns. Susie co-wrote the track Sticks and Stones with her niece Autumn McEntire.

Susies music catalog is not just a collection of inspiring songs, it has become her life story. "Looking back now, with 20/20 vision, I can clearly see Gods hand of guidance through all of the difficult moments in my life. By sharing my story, I hope it will help someone else find their way through whatever they may be facing. I can think of no greater purpose for my music than that.
