Claudia Russell
with
The Folk Unlimited Orchestra
Claudia Russell is returning for her second visit to Música Del Río with Bruce Kaplan on guitar and Mark Petrella on bass by her side. You may have heard these folks backing up Claudia often on Song Town at KCBX Public Radio or on their first visit here. Either way, we know you will be very glad they found their way to Atascadero once again.
Claudia has as expressive voice that is as much at home on a whispery folk ballad as a full-tilt Buddy Holly styled romp. She plays a style all her own: eclectic folk music with traces of all her musical loves--blues, western swing, rock and county. Drawing from original compositions and, beloved old favorites (some almost forgotten) along with folk and pop classics; Claudia’s performance is truly heartfelt and cleverly entertaining.
Over the years since the release of her first solo CD in 2000, Song Food, Claudia has stepped away from seeing herself as mostly an interpreter and far more as a songwriter. The folk music radio community has taken notice and truly agrees. From Boston to Salt Lake to Los Angeles to San Luis Obispo she has garnered more airplay over the past decade than most folk musicians get in a lifetime.
With hints of an East Coast folk style and attached to a West Coast irreverence, Claudia’s humor, personal stories and her “Who me?” attitude makes her live concerts a delightful social dissertation attached to a wonderful songfest.
During the span of Música Del Río’s six seasons there has never been a lack of clever and delightful voices and sounds. Claudia’s appearance here helped initiate that and will surely give it a boost one more time. Tracks from her latest CD Live Band Tonight, which includes our all-time favorite version of Bob Dylan’s Tonight I’ll Be Staying Here With You can be previewed at CD Baby. Get a taste!
Claudia can stay at Música Del Río for as long as she likes on March 24th, as long as you stay too. It could never be enough.

Bill & Kate Isles
From Duluth Minnesota comes the talk of the folk music community across America. Not just their music...their courtship!
After spending almost half his life swearing off music, Bill Isles performed his first concert in over 25 years in 2000. This action was instrumental to Kate entering the picture shortly thereafter.
After hearing Bill interviewed on public radio, Kate bought a CD and signed up on his email list. According to Bill, these soon became "grounds for marriage".
The music, the banter and the excuses will make up an evening at Música Del Río that may well seem like half concert, half therapy (theirs not ours). But you will not want to miss it.
We have had the pleasure of hearing Bill and Kate's music and stories many times. It is hard to explain why your life will be better for hearing them too. But it will be.
