The Claudettes Album Release Show · Newport · Dec 3, 2026

Six albums into their lauded career, the Claudettes continue to put a fascinating spin on American roots music with their 2026 Pravda Records album GARAGE GLAMOUR. Blues and R&B are laced with punk spirit and film- noir moods to create the bands singular glitzy-yet-gritty sound. The Claudettes have earned worldwide acclaim with their recordings and concerts full of heart, musicianship and theatrical flair. Force-of-nature vocalist Rachel Williams (who dominates the stage like a glam-rock rebirth of Annie Lennox) and renowned pianist/songwriter Johnny Iguana join the mighty rhythm section of Zach Verdoorn (bass, guitar, vocals) and Liz Ele (drums). Outside the Claudettes, Iguana has toured with Junior Wells and Otis Rush, played on many Grammy-nominated albums and recorded with Buddy Guy, Derek Trucks, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Johnny Winter and more. Johnny is also composer of the score for the Emmy-winning smash FX/Hulu series The Bear and has released two solo albums on iconic blues/jazz label Delmark Records.
