Susan sings and plays guitar and fiddle. With husband, Miguel Govea, and their daughters, they perform as La Familia Peña-Govea at venues as varied as Davies Symphony Hall, San Quentin Prison, classrooms, libraries, festivals, weddings, hospital wards and backyard barbecues. The family has taught regularly at Lark Camp for the last two decades, delving into Mexican and TexMex/Norteño style boleros, rancheras, waltzes, and corridos, as well as Columbian vallenatos and cumbias, with a sprinkling of American country mixed in.
