The North Shore Music Association welcomes beloved folk duo Claudia Schmidt and Sally Rogers to the Arrowhead Center for the Arts on September 14.

Claudia Schmidt and Sally Rogers have been weaving their voices, dulcimers, and guitars together for decades, creating an atmosphere of joy that audiences find so irresistible, that they frequently join right in. Their harmonies, double dulcimer work, and the mix of 6- and 12-string guitars complement a wide array of original, traditional, and contemporary songs. Time has only deepened and enriched the music they create together.

Claudia Schmidt’s performances are a quirky and wonderful hodge-podge of music, poetry, story, laughter, drama, and celebrating the moment. She has always included her original work along with personal versions of others' work, so audiences see her unique worldview of clarity, humor, and wonder. The San Francisco Bay Guardian says, “Schmidt's shows are a lot like falling in love. You never know what's going to happen next, chances are it's going to be wonderful, every moment is burned into your memory, and you know you'll never be the same again.” 

Sally Rogers began her career as a full-time touring musician in 1979, after encouragement from the legendary Canadian singer-songwriter Stan Rogers. That was followed by an invitation from Garrison Keillor to appear on A Prairie Home Companion. She appeared more than a dozen times on that show, which launched her performing career. Her travels have since taken her across Europe and the United States. Her gorgeous voice, boundless energy, and good humor are welcomed from coast to coast.

The concert starts at 7:00 pm on September 14 at the Arrowhead Center for the Arts (51 W 5th Street, Grand Marais). Tickets are $20 for general admission, available in advance at https://www.northshoremusicassociation.com/ and at the door starting at 6:00 pm.
