Hey now!
We hit my former hometowns Philly and NYC, and my birth state (NJ) this week, plus Pittsburgh, D.C. and Cleveland, then move into Ohio, Indiana and Detroit next week. See all details on the showdates page. Come and spread the word, please! The new album NO HOTEL has made some good people say some great things. We’ll update the press page soon. And, coming soon, TWO new music videos! Don’t turn that dial…

The official release date isn’t ’til Sept. 18, but you can pre-order NO HOTEL here, and if you attend one of the dozens of shows listed on our Shows page, rest assured: we’ll have advance copies with us. It begins in St. Louis and Urbana this weekend. In the meantime, Mirza, one of Yana’s vocal tracks from NO HOTEL, is the “Ear Candy” feature on this website’s home page, and you’ll also find Big Easy Women from NO HOTEL on the music page!

…With the classic Spinal Tap line, “Hello, Cleveland!”

We are giddy that we get to play with Mr. Bobby Bare Jr. at the one-of-a-kind Chicago summer fest Dog Dayz of Summer this June!
Here’s the web page for the event.

We play Sunday June 28 at 5 p.m. It’s a Hot Doug’s/Goose Island joint. Get your tix, smarty!

Summer and fall tour dates, from way out west to “back east” are pouring in. No time to post ’em right now…too busy booking ’em. But we will soon–lots. AND: album-release news is coming, very soon.
Please report back to this room after lunch…we should have it all straightened out by then…
In the meantime, here’s a picture of Caskey bein’ Caskey!

Watch the Claudettes tear it up at the Semaine du Blues Festival in Aulnay-Sous-Bois, France. These are highlights from two sold-out shows we did there on November 17, 2014. And as always: Be careful not to spill any Bordeaux on your new outfit!

Watch and learn, son

We finished mastering our new recording at the venerable (and most impressive) Sterling Sound in NYC. Holy cow, it sounds good. Thanks to Ryan Smith and “Uncle” Steve Berkowitz for the top-flight work there. Lunch at the Chelsea Market made a good thing yet better. We have a new music video filmed, some great footage from our two sold-out November 2014 shows in France coming soon, a whole lot of gigs on the way…see, folks, this is how it’s done (nowadays)…
