Música Del Río is a gathering of friends to enjoy outstanding acoustic music in our living room.
With room for about 60 friends; musicans and singer-songwriters find our house concerts to be a joyous way to share the art of their craft.
100% of the donation you make to attend this gathering goes to the performers. We do this for the love of music, the love of friends to share it with and the love of opening our front door to make it happen.

Claudia Nygaard
Once
described by a concert promoter as “Will Rogers without the rope”,
Claudia Nygaard is an entertainer known for her quick wit and an affable
connection with her audience. She is an incredible storyteller, not
just a singer/songwriter. She always spins a tale between songs.
Her sensual alto, described by Chicago Folk DJ Rich Warren as “amber honey”, has a resonance and power not found in younger vocal chords. It is a voice that has learned from Frank Sinatra, Janis Joplin, Joni Mitchell, and an opera coach.
Winning several songwriter competitions here in the west coast fueled her passion for writing, and led her to sell everything that wouldn’t fit into a 5’x8’ trailer and move to Nashville. Successfully writing for others paid the bills and polished her craft, but she missed the connection with a live audience. She has been on the road here and in Europe ever since. Her songwriting awards at the Kerrville Folk Festival seemed to move her away from county and state fairs and into the world of folk festivals, community centers and house concerts.
With Claudia’s latest CD Let The Storm Roll In, she has gained wide recognition within the folk/roots radio community in the USA and in Europe. The Daily News in Pennsylvania called Claudia “one of Americana music’s hidden gems.” The folk / roots / Americana radio community has found an amazing artist they can count on every day. If you happen to fly to Europe on Lufthansa Airlines, you will be surprised to hear Claudia on their in-flight roots channel. But a little nearer home (and live), she will be joining us at Música Del Río for our December concert.
