"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
