Forget the usual brunch routine and long lines. Spend Mother’s day afternoon with acclaimed vocalist Clairdee at the Blue Note in downtown Napa. Great food and beverages.
Two Great Shows: 3 pm and 7 pm!
- Clairdee — soulful songstress
“In the tradition of all great vocalists, Clairdee infuses her own unique style while always remaining true to the song.”
— Nancy Wilson
Clairdee is a recording and international touring artist. Her lustrous voice, soulful delivery, and scene stealing charisma have highlighted performances with acclaimed instrumentalists including 2017 NEA Jazz Master Dick Hyman, Bucky Pizzarelli, Boz Scaggs, Ken Peplowski, Cyrus Chestnut, and Houston Person. In addition to headlining with her world-class ensemble, Clairdee performs with symphony pops orchestras and big bands and has opened for artists as diverse as David Sanborn, the Count Basie Orchestra, Johnny Mathis, and Etta James. With three highly praised albums to her credit, Clairdee’s newest recording project and touring program, A Love Letter to Lena Horne, celebrates the groundbreaking singer, actress and activist who personified glamour and became a catalyst for social justice. The album release is scheduled for late 2017. Clairdee is an inspiring and devoted educator, sharing the joy of music with audiences, aspiring vocalists, and children alike. A former vocal jazz instructor at UC Berkeley’s Jazz Department and Diablo Valley College, she is a teaching artist with San Francisco Symphony’s children’s program, ‘Adventures in Music,’ and an Advisory Board member and active mentor for Jazz in the Neighborhood, the Bay-Area-based nonprofit mentoring program. “My mission is to engage, uplift and build community through music,” she says, “creating narrative that inspires beyond the stage.”
