Soozie Tyrell, born May 4 1957, formerly known as Soozie Kirschner, is an American violinist and singer, most known for her work with Bruce Springsteen in the E Street Band.

Tyrell was born in Pisa, Italy and as the daughter of a military serviceman travelled extensively. Eventually her family settled in Florida and she briefly took music theory classes at the University of South Florida. She then relocated to New York City where she became a street musician for many years. Together with Patti Scialfa and Lisa Lowell, she formed a street group known as Trickster.

Tyrell began appearing on records with Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes' "Love is a Sacrifice" in 1980. She then led her own country and western band, Soozie & High in the Saddle. Beginning in mid-1980s Tyrell worked with David Johansen and his Buster Poindexter alter-ego for fifteen years, appearing on six albums and a number of tours as well as collaborating on the musical "Poet's Café". Tyrell, Scialfa and Lowell performed on the self-named first 'Buster Poindexter' album released in 1987 (featuring "Hot-Hot-Hot"); their friendship and mutual recording industry projects continue to the present.

Tyrell first appeared with Springsteen in 1992 on his "Lucky Town" album, as a backing vocalist. She subsequently performed on every Springsteen album of new studio material since that time, as a violinist and backing singer, including the albums "The Ghost of Tom Joad" and "Devils & Dust". In 2002 her violin became a key part of the sound on Springsteen's album "The Rising", and Tyrell joined the E Street Band for the subsequent 2002–2003 Rising Tour. She also played a prominent part in his non-E Street, big band folk-oriented 2006 album "" and the subsequent Sessions Band Tour. She contributed to several tracks on Springsteen's 2007 album "Magic". She was a key facet of Springsteen and the E Street Band's 2007–2008 Magic Tour, onstage for every number, playing acoustic guitar in addition to violin, and singing some featured duet parts during the frequent absences of bandmate and Springsteen wife Scialfa.

In 2003, Tyrell's debut album "White Lines" was released on Treasure Records.
