Folk music icon Claudia Schmidt will perform at the Clinton Street Theater. An artist who ... "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."
She's touring to support her new Red House album, New Whirled Order... 7 pm, tickets $15 here, or $20 at the door. Listen here.
