Claudia Schmidt at Friday Night Folk: New London
March 14, 2025 @ 7:30 pm - 10:00 pm
$10 – $20
Michigan native Claudia Schmidt has covered a lot of musical ground, beginning with a stirring rendition of “Tammy” at age 4 around a neighborhood bonfire. Then came years of choirs, a guitar, a dulcimer, and some theatre thrown into the pot.
More than three decades as a touring professional have found her traversing North America as well as Europe in venues ranging from intimate clubs to 4,000 seat theatres, and festival stages in front of 25,000 rapt listeners. She is familiar with the mediums of radio and TV, including regular stints on Public Radio International’s “A Prairie Home Companion” in its early incarnation, and starring in an hour-long documentary called “I Sing Because I Can’t Fly,” produced by KTCA TV in St. Paul.
Friday Night Folk at All Souls joyfully supports social and environmental justice by bringing live traditional, contemporary and multicultural folk music to the larger community in a welcoming and accessible performance space.
