Claudia Schmidt On The Wild Rose Moon Radio Hour

Monday, July 1, 2019 at 9 PM

Singer-songwriter Claudia Schmidt is the guest performer on the next Wild Rose Moon Radio Hour.

Host George Schricker says, "Claudia's voice rises out of her as if she were her own mountain--with great peaks and valleys and lovely plateaus for the audience to rest upon--it's as if the whole earth sings with her."

Here's the description from Claudia's website:

More than 4 decades as a
touring professional have found
Michigan native 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 has recorded nineteen albums of
mostly original songs, exploring folk,
blues, and jazz idioms featuring
her acclaimed 12-string
guitar and mountain
dulcimer playing.

The Wild Rose Moon Radio Hour is recorded before a live audience in The Little Moon Theater on the lower level of the Wild Rose Moon Performing Arts Centerin Historic Downtown Plymouth.
