Claudia Jacobs
In a relatively small nut shell

     Claudia's voice and presence ride a wave from low-down bluesy to sweet and sassy which led one of her fans to brand her “a Hardcore Angel.”  She is very comfortable on stage and her audience knows that she's real happy to be there with them, sharing a moment; her concerts never disappoint.

     It’s been a busy two years since she returned to full time performing. Last year she opened for Richie Havens, Judy Collins, Susan Werner and John Gorka; released her “Makin’ Lemonade” EP; and contributed an eerie, soulful and rousing rendition of the Ray Davies song Looney Balloon for Paradiddle Records’ upcoming compilation CD “Kinks Unkovered.” In the dim and slightly distant past she has shared the bill with Arlo Guthrie, David Massengill, Cliff Eberhardt, Christine Lavin, Jack Hardy and Dave Van Ronk at festivals and clubs around the North East, the Clearwater Town House Concert Series, Central Park Bandshell and the historic Speak Easy in Greenwich Village.

     Currently, she is in the studio finishing-up her long-awaited full length CD “Rally On” and planning her support tour throughout the Eastern Seaboard. The CD reflects her wide range of influences from Alternative Country, Folk and Jazz, to R & B, Bluegrass and Blues.   Featured on the CD is Composer and Professor of music Dr. Dan Weymouth serving up some '70's soul style organ and piano; on electric and slide guitar, author of “Project Studio Blueprint” and owner of NY's Soundsurfr Studios Greg Galluccio; protégé of world renowned trombonist Ray Anderson and new member of the world renowned brass quintet Synergy, Tristan Eggener on tuba and bass; Bakithi Kumalo's drummer Mark Portugal and a special appearance by guitar virtuoso Steve Rothery of the popular UK band Marillion.
