Claudia Schmidt & Dean Magraw
North Street Cabaret 610 North St., Madison, Wisconsin 53704
Two lauded folk talents combine their efforts for a night of reveries. Schmidt, a Michigander, and Dean Magraw, a Minnesotan, each capture the beauty of the Midwest in their respective takes on acoustic music. Schmidt has spent upwards of four decades honing traditionalist folk and her dynamic vocals, dulcimer and 12-string guitar, whereas Magraw is more keen to experiment with genre on his acoustic guitar. Their talents combined should make for an enthralling evening of music.
press release:
“To say that Schmidt is simply a performer with a talent to entertain would be a miscarriage of understatement. Schmidt takes her audiences into her world as easily as the child who discovers the endless universes that exist in a cardboard box.” --Door County Advocate Composer/Guitarist Dean
“Dean Magraw…so liquid, lyrical and effortless it’s like listening to a dancer.” --Steve Tibbetts
“Dean Magraw unveils soulful melodic melodic grooves intricately designed to heal the broken dancer, confuse the boldest mathematician, and eradicate ennui in our lifetime.” --Nick Lethert
