ZUMBROTA— Exploring jazz, folk, blues and world music genres -- going deep inside their idioms and then fusing them seamlessly together -- is something few musicians can do like Claudia Schmidt does. Watch her tie it all together effortlessly at Crossings on Sat., March 30, at 7:30 p.m.
Besides possessing a silky-smooth singing voice and the chops to write intriguing verses, Schmidt is well-known for accompanying herself on a 12-string guitar. Schmidt transfixes listeners with her ethereal voice and insightful lyrics, then surprises them with a humorous anecdote between songs. Audiences are as delighted by the quirky “hodge-podge” of music, poetry, story, laughter and drama as they are by her peerless musicality.
Schmidt takes her audiences into her world and weaves her way through a concert, pulling listeners along on a thread of a song about coming of age, then tucking in a story about herself that builds a relationship with the audience.
While Schmidt started out nearly four decades ago in the folk genre, she’s never hesitated to explore other musical styles and she's retained the ability to give audiences a fresh sound every time. She’s recorded fourteen albums of mostly original songs incorporating folk, blues, and jazz, and featuring her acclaimed 12-string guitar and mountain dulcimer playing.
“Claudia Schmidt is a true artist-she has talent AND the fire of genius”
– The Boston Globe
