UUCB Concerts for a Cause presents legendary folksingers, Sally Rogers & Claudia Schmidt at the Brunswick UU Church on October 19th at 7:30 pm to raise money for the Brunswick Area Teen Center and Maine Family Planning.
Claudia & Sally, both Michigan natives, have each shared their talents as solo artists and as a duo. Sally is a folk artist, and Claudia is known for both folk and jazz. For over 4 decades, they have been performing together, demonstrating a deep musical connection onstage. They have played at prestigious folk venues around the world and were regulars on Garrison Keillor's Prairie Home Companion. Their beautiful harmonies, fascinating double dulcimer work, and the mix of 6 and 12 string guitars make up their wide repertoire of originals and traditional songs.
Sally and Claudia’s album “Closing the Distance” was voted by public radio stations throughout the country as one of the 10 most popular albums of the year. They recently 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 decades.
Sally Rogers is a remarkably accomplished musician, songwriter, storyteller, and educator. Over her career, she has recorded more than a dozen albums and has established herself as a preeminent voice in folk music. She began her career as a full-time touring musician in 1979, after encouragement from Stan Rogers, the legendary Canadian singer-songwriter. Rogers has toured extensively, performing as well as teaching workshops with adults and children.
Claudia Schmidt is a powerful vocalist who describes herself as a “creative noisemaker,” engaging audiences with folk classics, jazz, blues, bawdy verses and humorous parodies. She has recorded 16 of her own albums, and four with Sally Rogers. Her widely acclaimed folk and jazz-based compositions have found their way into radio, TV, film and theater productions.
