Claudia is a graduate of the early Grant MacEwan College and was fortunate to be Bob Stroup’s lead vocalist. She then moved to LA to study composition & arranging at the Dick Grove School of Music. This is Claudia’s second appearance at Yardbird Suite. Journey to Joy is her musical celebration of the joyfulness we find (or look for) in our lives.
