An Evening With Claudia Nygaard

Claudia Nygaard is a charismatic performer who writes heartfelt, humorous, sensual, and scrappy songs that are filled with cinematic lyrics and a daredevil’s vulnerability. Then with a deeply emotive amber honey voice and a quick wit, she delivers them in between outlandish and irreverent monologues.

Nygaard learned her songwriting craft as a staff songwriter on Nashville's Music Row, and she is a winner of both the Kerrville Folk Festival Songwriting competition and also the Tumbleweed Music Festival Songwriting Competition. Her latest album, Lucky Girl, rose to #5 on the Folk Alliance Radio Chart and received generous airplay on the Americana chart. Her previous album, Let the Storm Roll In, reached #1 on the Roots/Country chart.

A born storyteller, Claudia recently added "playwright" to her accomplishments when The Academy of Performing Arts in Massachusetts premiered her first children's musical.
