​"Claudia has one of those astounding voices that explodes out of a track, wraps around your ears and brain, and compels you to LISTEN. This is a singer who knows how to tell stories and weave vibes—not simply replicate a melody with passionless accuracy or silly vocal ornamentations. The emotional narratives in her vocal phrasing alone can add an almost cinematic impact to song lyrics. The smartest thing I ever did when producing her records was to shut up and let her unleash the magic." —Michael Molenda, former Editor-in-Chief, Guitar Player; founder Guardians of Guitar NFTs; producer, Mi5 Recordings/Universal Music Group

Sheryl and The Pretenders -Band has its own PA, lights and backline. We just need a bunch of AC outlets and we're good to go!

We can tailor our amps and drums to be as loud or quiet as you need us to be - we regularly play at places that monitor the maximum decibels we can play at.

If you have a house PA, lights, a sound tech, risers, etc, we are happy to use them - please let us know in advance so we don't have to schlep our sound and lights.
