MINI BIO: Americana singer/songwriter Claudia Nygaard (NYE-GUARD) is a born storyteller with a quick wit, and a fearless emotional vulnerability. Described by reviewers as “Will Rogers without the rope” for her affable connection with an audience, Claudia has performed at over 200 fairs and festivals in the United States and 9 foreign countries. Endorsements from merchandisers attest to her strength as a guitarist, and her voice has received generous praise for its power and warmth from both press and DJs alike. She was chosen one of the Emerging Artists of 2009 by the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival. Nygaard is a former Nashville Music Row staff songwriter, and her songs - with their passionate melodies and descriptive lyrics, have won numerous awards including the coveted Kerrville Folk Festival “New Folk” song competition. Her new CD “Let The Storm Roll In” has been hailed by the press as "one of the finest singer/songwriter/storyteller collections in recent memory." (Wildy Haskell, Wildy's World) EVERY song on the recording has received airplay, and the CD has climbed to the #13 spot on the Folk-DJ chart, #26 on the Cashbox Roots Music Americana chart, and #1 on the Roots Music Country chart. "Big Country", the first track on the CD, will be added to the in-flight playlist on Lufthansa Airlines in November. |

WHAT THE VENUES ARE SAYING... “Claudia has a talent for finding in a simple phrase the most excellent songs, where anyone else might hear nothing. I am continually amazed by the emotions she can evoke; heart wrenching I cry every time, to a social statement which could be a call to action or at least some inner searching, to sexy and funny that leaves everyone in the room delightfully joyfully heated. She is a pleasure to work with and gives her best every time. Always delighted to have her at Kerrville!” Dalis Allen, Producer of the Kerrville Folk Festival "I have been hosting concerts for 40 years and house concerts for the last twelve. I would have to say that Claudia Nygaard's house concert was one of the most personal and engaging of the audience that I have ever seen. She had them from the get-go to the encore. Her strength is in her conviction to the empathy her songs convey, and it shows." Paul Barker, Barker House Concerts, Austin, TX “Claudia Nygaard is down to earth, fun, and a little bit mischievous… just like her music.” Cheryl Kagan, Folk ‘N Great Music, Rockville, MD |
