"One of the New York area's finest female singer-songwriters...You can depend on her to deliver some fine music."
John Platt, WFUV NY
"It's rare that a voice grabs you and shakes you to the bone like when Claudia Jacobs takes the stage. Her intuitive grasp of soul and gospel music blends well with her distinct contemporary folk sound. Her vibrant performances bring us back to the days of Janis Joplin when vocal expression took on a larger scale. With a passionate, larger than life personality driving it all, Claudia knows well how to connect with her audience - from the heart - and that goes a long way to creating a true "feel good" for anyone who listens."

"Her personality, warmth and optimism, seems to circumvent social boundaries and personal walls to forge an immediate connection with her audience. --Her vocal quality is often described as soulful and bluesy, though I think that's a limiting classification. Claudia's scratchy, taught alto languidly parades through each of her songs. Her vocal quality malleable...Her musical identitiy undergoes countless mutations.
Joseph Shortsle

"Her singing, guitar playing and songs are really wonderful and will inspire young women (as well as young and old men) to create...she has the gift...you can't merchandise or fake beauty. Keep on wailin' Claudia!"
David Amram
Musician/Composer/Troubador
“Claudia Jacobs is an incredibly unique performer. She mesmerizes the audience with her incredible voice, ballsy yet warm personality and songwriting chops. She’s both the professional and the old friend at the same time and a joy to have both on and off the stage.”
Clara Iacopelli

"Clearly a woman with a musical message to deliver! Her deep blusey tones will reach straight into your soul and make your body wanna move in surprising ways. Surrounded by a group of talented musicians each performance is a gift untoi those who come to listen."
