Their soaring harmonies ('blood harmony' was how one fan described it)\, fascinating double dulcimer work\, and the mix of 6 a nd 12 string guitars\, blend with a wide choice of songs. In one concert\, they combine their originals\, plus traditional songs\, and choice compos itions of contemporary songwriters. A concert by these two masters of thei r craft is an immensely satisfying and restorative experience. Time has on ly deepened and enriched the music they create together.\n\nClaudia and Sa lly have been perfecting their craft of performing for almost four decades \, both as solo artists and as a duo. Claudia’s is a quirky and wonderfu l hodge-podge (her word!) of music\, poetry\, story\, laughter\, drama\, a nd celebrating the moment. Work in clubs\, theaters\, festivals\, TV\, rad io has added depth and dimension\, and since she has always included her o riginal work along with very personal versions of the work of others\, wha t you get is a unique look at the world from someone who says what she see s with clarity\, humor\, and wonder. The San Francisco Bay Guardian said: Schmidt's shows are a lot like falling in love. You never know what's goin g to happen next\, chances are it's going to be wonderful\, every moment i s burned into your memory and you know you'll never be the same again."Mor e succinctly\, Garrison Keillor said "when Claudia sings a song\, it stays sung"\n\nSally Rogers began her career as a full-time touring musician in 1979\, after encouragement from Stan Rogers\, the legendary Canadian sing er-songwriter.  That was followed by an invitation from Garrison Keillor to appear on A Prairie Home Companion.  She appeared more than a dozen t imes on that show\, which launched her performing career.  Her travels ha ve since taken her to Europe\, China\, Hungary and Poland\, England and Sc otland and across the United States.  Her concerts enfold the audience in the music as they are encouraged to join in throughout the evening.  Her gorgeous singing voice\, boundless energy and good humor are welcomed fro m coast to coast.\n\nSamples of music:\nCrossing the Bar\nMedley of songs\ nAdults: $20 in advance\, $25 at door\, Students &\; Children: $10\nAva ilable at the church office\, Gulf of Maine Books or https://ticketstripe. com/sallyclaudia.\n\nTickets ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://i0.wp.com/www.uubrunswick.org/wp-content /uploads/2023/03/Sally-Rogers-Claudia-Schmidt-2016-2926-color-2.jpg?fit=24 00%2C2400&ssl=1 CATEGORIES:Concerts for a Cause END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/New_York X-LIC-LOCATION:America/New_York BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20240310T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0500 TZOFFSETTO:-0400 TZNAME:EDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
