Claudia Schmidt

"'Contemporary folk music's front-line ambassador of wonder'--sfgate.com" Traverse City singer-songwriter Claudia Schmidt is known for striking out in new directions -- she's explored folk, blues, jazz, and some unique hybrids of spoken word and song over her career of more than 25 years, as well as writing most of her own songs and playing a mean 12-string guitar and mountain dulcimer. But whatever she sings and plays, she has a funny, wise, even profound spirit that's all her own. One critic has described a Claudia Schmidt concert as "a lot like falling in love. You never know what's going to happen next, chances are it's going to be wonderful, every moment is burned into your memory, and you know you'll never be the same again." Visit Claudia's website
