One of the Bay Area's most eclectic and dynamic Americana duos,Claudia and Bruce traverse a wide Americana landscape, stopping at musical landmarks along the way, tipping their hat to bluegrass bands, blues divas, jazz cats, Village folkies, and singing cowboys. Driven by Claudia’s expressive voice and distinctive guitar style, plus Kaplan’s melodic accompaniment on mandolin, banjo and electric guitar, it all comes together beautifully. It's all served up with a generous helping of homespun humor and shaggy dog stories, making for a heartfelt and humorous evening of deeply engaging music.
Sing Out magazine has hailed Claudia as “a great live performer" while American Songwriter says "Claudia Russell is a gifted songwriter with a gorgeous singing voice." Russell and Kaplan have toured across the country, performing in living rooms, barns, churches, and coffee houses as well as festivals including Kerrville Folk Festival, Boston Folk Festival, the New Bedford Folk Festival, Black Hawk Folk Festival, and multiple concert appearances at legendary venues such as McCabe’s, Club Passim, and Berkeley’s Freight & Salvage.
