Description
Claudia Nygaard Live at 12 Bar Club
Who is Claudia Nygaard
Claudia Nygaard’s music has its roots in the adobe clay of the San Joaquin Valley in California Where her father was a cowboy and in the construction business and worked weekdays in the San Francisco Bay Area. He and her uncle ran a ranch about two hours east of there in the San Joaquin, where they spent every weekend working their small herd of Hereford cattle.
Singer-Songwriter, Americana, Cowboy, Alt Country ans a Winner of both the Kerrville and Tumbleweed Folk Festival songwriting competitions, Claudia’s amber honey voice delivers emotionally fearless songs in between outlandish and irreverent monologues.
“Nygaard is fearless. She often says in song what many of us
would be reluctant to admit in conversation”. -Country Standard Time
Her first release Somewhere Else To Go, released on the UK recording label Round Tower, charted in the top five on the European Americana charts. It was also one of the top twelve records of the year in 2001 for the UK magazine Country Music Roundup. For the first six months of 2001 Claudia played several times at the legenday 12 Bar Club, in Tin Pan Alley in support of the release.
Claudia is a quick witted and charismatic performer, with a twinkle in her eye that convinces everyone in her audience that she is sharing a secret with them alone. And her storytelling doesn’t end when the song does. Sharing both the inspiration behind the tunes, and also frequently creating outlandish, irreverent, and humorous monologues, her patter is as important a part of her performances as the songs themselves.
You might find Terri Hendrix similar to Nygaard.
There are some glitches, artifacts, and stops in this tape, but it is 22 years old when we saved the tape.
