Sweet Claudette is made up of members of regional favorites The Honeycutters, Now You See Them and The Moon and You. The seeds of Sweet Claudette were planted at a women’s songwriter showcase in the fall of 2009. The ladies had so much fun working up tunes for the show, they decided to form a band so they could keep singing and playing together.
Sweet Claudette’s captivating sound is powered by 3- and 4-part harmonies, Motown-inspired backup vocals, and an unusual combo of acoustic instruments: cello, banjo, melodica, guitar and hand percussion. Multicolored kazoos sometimes make a brief appearance as well. Their live show is collaborative, energetic and hugely entertaining. Band members pass the instruments around and switch leads, cracking up the crowd and one another.
Gorgeous harmonies, outstanding musicianship and world-class songwriting are the qualities that set Sweet Claudette apart from the crowd. What’s more, they are very proud to be the only Country/Motown band they’ve ever heard of. With humor, warmth and consummate musicality, the ladies of Sweet Claudette hope to continue charming the pants off of audiences for many years to come.
