Legendary folksingers, Claudia Schmidt and Sally Rogers will be performing at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Brunswick on October 28th at 7:30 pm as part of the UUCB Concerts for a Cause series.  The net profit from the concert will be given to local charities:  Oasis Free Clinics and Mid Coast New Mainers Group.

Claudia Schmidt & Sally Rogers have shared their talent both as solo artists and as a duo. are a soul-deep musical combination. Sally is perhaps more closely associated with the folk music genre, and while Claudia has done a lot of folk, she’s also well-known and loved for her expeditions into the jazz world. Whenever they combine their voices & music, there is an alchemy that transmutes music into magic. Both tell stories & capture images to rivet the heart & guide us on a better, more fulfilling, path.

Together, they have been weaving their voices, dulcimers, and guitars, demonstrating a deep musical connection onstage.  Their soaring harmonies, fascinating double dulcimer work, and the mix of 6 and 12 string guitars, blend with a wide choice of songs. They combine their originals, plus traditional songs, and choice compositions of contemporary songwriters. A concert by these two masters of their craft is an immensely satisfying and restorative experience. Time has only deepened and enriched the music they create together.

Sally Rogers began her career as a full-time touring musician in 1979, after encouragement from Stan Rogers, the legendary Canadian singer-songwriter.  That was followed by an invitation from Garrison Keillor to appear on A Prairie Home Companion.  She appeared more than a dozen times on that show, which launched her performing career.  Her travels have since taken her to Europe, China, Hungary and Poland, England and Scotland and across the United States.  Her concerts enfold the audience in the music as they are encouraged to join in throughout the evening.  Her gorgeous singing voice, boundless energy and good humor are welcomed from coast to coast.

Claudia Schmidt describes herself as a “creative noisemaker,” engaging audiences with folk classics, hymns, jazz, blues, bawdy verses and humorous parodies. Her widely acclaimed folk and jazz-based compositions have found their way into radio, TV, film and theater productions. Her musical theater performances include “Gales of November,” a 2005 retelling of the tragic 1975 sinking of the ship Edmund Fitzgerald. In addition to 12-string guitar and mountain dulcimer, she plays “deluxe pianolin,” a 52-stringed zither-like instrument. Like Sally Rogers, Claudia has appeared numerous times on A Prairie Home Companion, solo and as a duo with Sally.  Garrison Keillor once said “when Claudia sings a song, it stays sung.”

Their 1987 album “Closing the Distance” was voted by public radio stations throughout the country as one of the 10 most popular albums of the year. In 2016 Claudia Schmidt and Sally Rogers released their fourth collaborative album “We are Welcomed,” which celebrates love, friendship and social justice, themes that have been the cornerstone of their intertwined careers for more than three decades.Top of Form
