Claudia Nygaard is an entertainer known for her quick wit and an affable connection with her audience.  She is an incredible storyteller, not just as a songwriter, but also in the charming tales she spins between her songs.  With her powerful voice, Mygaard could have easily made a career out of being a vocalist, but opted instead to focus on being a singer/songwriter.

Nygaard was named the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival Emerging Artist in 2009 and in 2004 she won the Kerrville Folk Festival “New Folk/Grassy Hill” songwriting competition.  She recently released her CD “Let the Storm Roll In” and has enjoyed much success with it.  She has enjoyed radio air time for each of the twelve songs on her new CD “Let the Storm Roll In.”

Nygaard’s tour in Montgomery County will start on Monday, April 8th at the Coffeyville Meal Site, Sycamore Landing and Windsor Place Assisted Living before arriving at the Spencer/Rounds Theatre on the CCC Campus at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, April 9th. She will continue her tour of Coffeyville with Windsor Place, Windsor Place SCU and the Medicalodge of Coffeyville on Tuesday.  Wednesday she will entertain residents at Pickwick Place, Asbury Village and the Dale Apartments followed by the students at Caney Valley High School on Thursday and the Caney Nursing Home and Guest Home Estates in Caney on Friday.
