Claudette King with the Gregory Goodloe Band

Friday, August 18 -7:00PM & 9:00PM

A VOICE OF HER OWN

National Recording Academy Member, Claudette King, dubbed "The Bluz Queen" is the youngest daughter of THEE Ultimate Blues Master, B. B. King and, if familial genes count for anything, she is "On to something."

The former San Francisco Bay Area native now living in Atlanta, Georgia, has had the life experiences to make lyrics mean something. She has a natural ease in shifting with the mood of each word. However, most certainly, the power of Claudette's enthusiasm for the beautiful genre-blending music on her debut "We're Onto Something" merits ample notice.

Claudette King can be described as dynamic, amplified, and downright sassy. She exudes a confidence that perhaps was born of her struggle to prove who she is and at the same time carve out her own identity.
