The Claudettes (in the Supper Club)

It would be unbelievably inaccurate to confine Chicago band, The Claudettes, to a solitary genre. On their forthcoming album No Hotel, the Claudettes fuse jazz, blues, vaudeville, soul, and classical to provide audiences with a fresh and unique listening experience. Jazzy piano lines, smooth and catchy bass riffs, and a strong percussive backbone join forces to create the musical framework for this group. Though their diverse yet structured style is fresh, their live shows are a throwback to early 20th century performances from a 1930s big band club to a 1920s speakeasy. (Dana Hetrick)
