As a song stylist and interpreter of lyrics, Clairdee is unmatched. She is aware of the meaning and feeling behind every phrase. And her finely honed sensibility and old-school attitude about the importance of communicating with audiences, is skillfully demonstrated in her gift for putting her own stamp on a song while capturing its essence. With three highly praised albums behind her, the San Francisco-based vocalist is currently working on her newest recording, "A Love Letter to Lena Horne," in support of her 2016-17 concerts celebrating Ms. Horne's centenary. Clairdee is an international touring artist, playing to sold-out houses and garnering rave reviews. In addition to leading her world-class band, she performs with symphony pops orchestras and big bands, and has worked with acclaimed instrumentalists including Bucky Pizzarelli, Boz Scaggs, Cyrus Chestnut, Houston Person, Shelly Berg, Ken Peplowski, and Chuck Redd.
