Catfish Surprise for Suzanna Choffel

In a world where increasing importance has been placed on musicians to have their work heard through alternative channels and music placement in film has become akin to competitive sport, it was the ultimate act of kismet that allowed Suzanna's version of the Jimmy Driftwood classic, "Tennessee Stud," to become a centerpiece of one the fall's most buzzed about cinematic releases.

Catfish follows a relationship developed in the digital age that goes awry, played out deceptively over social media by a young man and woman. When the man asks the woman, admittedly an avid equestrian, to send him a song she's sung about a horse, she offers an audio rip of Choffel's "Tennessee Stud." "It's funny, because I barely remember filming the original version of 'Tennessee Stud'," explains Choffel from her home in Austin. "I know it was a Valentine's Day show in 2009, and I had kind of screwed up the words, so after two days up on YouTube, and something like 50 hits, I asked my manager to take it down and delete the file. How crazy is it that in such a short time span, fate would step in, and it's a central piece of this story?" Since the original version has been erased, Choffel created a new video of "Tennessee Stud," which can be found - here
