Sun, Aug 10: Clare Muldaur at Jeff Wasilko's house
The last time Rachael Sage played the Kendall Cafe, Clare Muldaur played an earlier set. geoffroi went to that show with me, and he was very impressed with Clare. He invited her to do a house concert at his place, and that is going to happen this coming Sunday. He writes:
Some of you saw Clare open for Rachael Sage last time Rachel was
in town. I was impressed enough to ask her if she'd be up for
doing a houseconcert. Thankfully, she said yes.
Here's the blurb I'm putting out. Please come over if you're free!

I first heard Clare Muldaur opening at the Kendall Cafe. Now, opening
acts can be a bit of a crapshoot, but that night I was glad that I
arrived early to catch her set. She blew me away, leaving such an
impression that one of her songs, "Emotional Lab Toy", remained a fixture
in my head for days following the show.
This refreshing new talent is a graduate of Berklee College of Music, the
daughter of two well-known performers (Geoff and Maria Muldaur). With her
husband Olivier Manchon, also a Berklee grad, on violin, Clare's
performance features originals that CD Baby accurately describes as
"swinging timeless pop with threads of Americana, Jazz and melodies that
just don't go away." She manages to weave influences ranging from Billie
Holliday to Parisian melodies into songs that are sweet, affecting, and
always catchy.
Complementing her songwriting and guitar playing is her voice which
blends angelic delicacy with youthful playfullness.
