"One of the New York area's finest female singer-songwriters... You can depend on her to deliver some fine music."
"It's rare that a voice grabs you and shakes you to the bone like when Claudia Jacobs takes the stage."
"Her personality, warmth and optimism... forge an immediate connection with her audience. --described as soulful and bluesy, her musical identity undergoes countless mutations.
"Claudia Jacobs mesmerizes the audience with her incredible voice, ballsy warm personality and songwriting prowess. She’s the professional and the old friend at the same time, and a joy to have both on and off the stage.”

2020 so far: Don't have to tell you, it's been weird, sad, calm and creative. I've had the pleasure of participating in several special online concerts. One of my favorites was covering Gary Wright's iconic 70's hit Love is Alive with my son, partner and neighbor for NYRMA's Love and Mercy virtual concert launch, here is an unedited version:
I was a special guest on the Janis Ian "Better Times Will Come" song project (janisian.com), thanks to Kevin Twigg, a long time David Amram co-conspirator. It was particularly touching setting up the "Bubby Mobile" as an Isolation recording booth!
2019! July is ending with an epic NYRMA show with songs curated in celebration of the Moon Landing's 50th Anniversary! I had the daunting challenge to do Bowie justice! August continues with the Woodstock 50th concert. We will return to the Wind Down Concert Series again and Bradstock Music Fest. September we will return to the Gallery North Art and Music Festival.
2018: September saw an energizing set at the 25th Bradstock festival on the acoustic stage with guitar, keys and harp and vocal improv with the KING of jazz improv Dr. David Amram!
Joining the long standing Dylan celebration for a couple of tunes at the University Cafe last weekend with The Kennedy's, Rod MacDonald Great vibe, great music all night!
Another great show with NYRMA at the Boulton Center (5/15). Sold out theatre!
Thanks to WUSB DJ Habanero for naming Rally On! one of her favorite CDs of 2013!!
