Happy Holidays everyone! Start it out right with a new concert by Claudia Schmidt at Coho!
A perfect harmony of the constituent parts of any given thing.
CD Release! Claudia is back with a new CD, “Concinnity”. Claudia opened this series 6 years ago, and we’re glad to have her back again!
More than 4 decades as a
touring professional have found
Michigan native Claudia Schmidt
traversing North America as well as
Europe in venues ranging from intimate
clubs to 4,000 seat theaters, and festival
stages in front of 25,000 rapt listeners.
She has recorded nineteen albums of
mostly original songs, exploring folk,
blues, and jazz idioms featuring
her acclaimed 12-string
guitar and mountain
dulcimer playing.
Claudia Schmidt has been perfecting her craft of performing for almost four decades. It is a quirky and wonderful hodge-podge (her word!) of music, poetry, story, laughter. drama, and celebrating the moment. Work in clubs, theaters, festivals, TV, radio has added depth and dimension, and since she has always included her original work along with very personal versions of the work of others, what you get is a unique look at the world from someone who says what she sees with clarity, humor, and wonder.
The San Francisco Bay Guardian said: Schmidt’s shows are 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.” More succinctly, Garrison Keillor said “when Claudia sings a song, it stays sung”
