Wisconsin Singer/Songwriter Series Presents Claudia Schmidt
Claudia Schmidt has been perfecting her craft of performing for more than five decades. It is a quirky and wonderful hodge-podge (her word!) of music, poetry, story, laughter, drama, and celebration of every moment, be it hilarious or poignant. She uses her multi-octave voice, shimmering 12 string guitar and very uniquely played mountain dulcimer to deliver a stunning performance that is never the same but always thrilling. Work in clubs, theaters, festivals, TV and radio has added depth and dimension to her stagecraft, and since she has always included mostly 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.

More succinctly, Garrison Keillor said, ''When Claudia sings a song, it stays sung.''

Each artist brings a distinct voice, yet together they weave a tapestry of song that bridges cultures, communities, and traditions in the most heartfelt way. Joe Jencks, celebrated for his lush baritone and emotionally resonant songwriting, draws on his Irish heritage, classical training, and blue-collar roots to craft music that is at once grounded and transcendent. A veteran of stages from Lincoln Center to folk festivals across North America, Joe?s music speaks to both the personal and the political ? with a compassion that invites listeners to feel deeply and think freely. Deidre McCalla, with her fearless presence and soul-stirring lyrics, brings a legacy of lyrical truth-telling and cultural celebration. Her award-winning album Endless Grace solidified her place as a force in contemporary folk, and her ability to channel joy and resilience into song has inspired generations of music lovers. Together, Joe and Deidre promise an unforgettable evening of song, story, and shared humanity ? the kind of night that lingers long after the last note fades.
