A "Must-see" CD Release Party

A"Must-see" CD Release Party November 19th

The John Henry’s Hammer Coffeehouse (JHH) concert series is pleased to announce

that on Saturday, November 19, 2016, 7:30-9:30pm, we will host a special CD Release Party for Claudia Schmidt and Sally Rogers featuring their latest collaboration entitled We are Welcome.  Schmidt, who performed at JHH last year expressly promised to return bringing Rogers for this special event. Attendees of last year's concert are still talking about how Claudia touched us by expressing in spoken word and song what we profess in our Seven Principles.

The new CD comprises of seven original tunes by Schmidt, three by Rogers and four more by other songwriters. The two nationally known singer/songwriters have toured and written songs together over a span of thirty-something years even though they’ve lived in different states for the past few decades.  There is a natural chemistry about these two women that makes singing together a very dynamic experience.

Michigan native Schmidt has spent years traveling from across North America to European venues ranging from small clubs to 4,000 seat theaters, and festival stages in front of 25,000 rapt listeners. Having recorded nineteen albums comprising of original songs, exploring folk, blues, and, more currently, jazz idioms, she is known for featuring her acclaimed 12-string guitar and mountain dulcimer performance skills.

Rogers, a nationally renowned recording artist with numerous awards, has fourteen recordings and a music video to her credit.  Her songs have been published in hymnals and national school music textbooks.  She has also composed folk operas, cantatas and has written a children’s picture book published by E.P. Dutton.

JHH is thrilled to have these two powerful performers grace our stage, and hope Worcesterites and more will come out to enjoy what promises to be a highly entertaining evening.  Don't miss it!  Spread the word!
