Jazz and Blues @ the Library featuring: Sweet Claudette and Friends November 19, 2008

Looking for fine, funky blues with a big city drawl and a down-home pedigree? You’ve come to the right joint. This sweet lady surrounds herself with nothing but legendary session players who are in high demand worldwide, writes George Seedorf in Big City Blues.

Sweet Claudette qualifies herself as one who gives the blues, but never gets them and sings the blues, but never has them. Her memories of Heflin, Alabama and life in Royal Oak Township, Michigan where many transplanted southerner’s lives gave her a boost toward her music.

Like many other artists, Detroit’s Motor City blues singer Sweet Claudette has been one of the nation’s best-kept secrets, but word is finally starting to spread. Claudette’s songs depict her life and experiences better than any autobiography could.
