Twenty-six years as a touring professional have found Claudia Schmidt 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. She participated in the delightful Les Blank movie "Gap-Toothed Women," contributing a song as well as an interview. Claudia wrote an award-winning score and performed in the Goodman Theatre's Chicago production of Brecht's "Good Person of Szechuan." She has recorded eleven albums of mostly original songs, exploring folk, blues, and jazz idioms featuring her acclaimed 12 string guitar, mountain dulcimer, and incredible vocals. Claudia Schmidt has collaborated with the New Reformation Jazz Band on a dixieland gospel recording and a tribute to Gershwin and Ellington in celebration of their hundredth birthdays. Her latest work in the Jazz field has her leading her own swinging sextet - Claudia Schmidt with the JumpBoys. |
