Song stylist Clairdee will be performing “Mad About Gershwin” at The Rrazz Room in the Hotel Nikko in San Francisco tonight. This is her Rrazz Room debut so let’s pack out the house.
I first saw Clairdee perform in 2002 at Yoshi’s Oakland. She featured the music of Rodgers & Hart that evening. We came in to select our seats near the end of her sound check. She came down and greeted people in the audience after she finished. It is a moment I will never forget and it has endeared me to her for life.
Clairdee is the consummate performer. No matter the genre of the song, she takes it and makes it her own. I love they way she can make the room stand still when she sings a beautiful ballad. You are in for a great treat tonight. See you there!
