The Claudettes' albums on Yellow Dog Records: http://yellowdogrecords.com/theclaudettes




The Claudettes fuse Chicago piano blues with the full-throttle energy of rockabilly and punk and the sultriness of '60s soul to write a thrilling new chapter in American roots music. Johnny Iguana pounds the piano alongside seductive singer Berit Ulseth, bassist/guitarist/singer Zach Verdoorn and drummer Michael Caskey. Johnny, who toured for years with his cult-favorite rock band oh my god, is also in the Grammy-nominated groups Chicago Blues: A Living History and the Muddy Waters 100 Band. He has toured/recorded with Junior Wells, Buddy Guy, Otis Rush and more and played piano on the new "Chicago Plays the Stones" album featuring Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Buddy Guy. The Claudettes recorded their 2018 album "DANCE SCANDAL AT THE GYMNNASIUM!" (Yellow Dog Records) with Grammy-winning producer Mark Neill (Black Keys, Old 97's, J. Roddy Walston, J.D. McPherson). The Claudettes have recorded a new album with Grammy-winning producer Ted Hutt (Violent Femmes, Lucero, Old Crow Medicine Show, Gaslight Anthem, The Devil Makes Three). Titled "High Times in the Dark," it was released April 3, 2020 on Forty Below Records.

NO DEPRESSION An ambitious, elegant record, the likes of which are in short supply…what these four have done is no small feat…if (it) doesn't grab you, then I don't know what will.

LA WEEKLY (Album of the Week) An absolute gem. The key is the punk-blues piano of Johnny Iguana blended with the gorgeous vocals of future breakout star Berit Ulseth…The band is composed of super talented musicians…But damn, Ulseth’s voice…her work here is captivating…There’s no filler here…enthralling.

NPR MUSIC Chicago's original recipe band…The Claudettes' sonic playing field is the blues and everything after, all tastefully and artfully blended together….Perhaps the band's greatest super power: songwriting.


POP MATTERS A particularly potent batch of compositions that highlight the quartet's undeniable chemistry….The Claudettes have stepped comfortably into their finest moment yet.


LOUDER THAN WAR (UK) Eleven prime fresh cuts of glorious attitude-packed musicianship, with vocals delivered by an angel. Berit's voice is simultaneously formidable and serene & heavenly…superb…achingly beautiful.


STEPHEN THOMAS ERLEWINE, ALLMUSIC Clever, soulful rock & roll that's rooted in blues, jazz and R&B but veers toward classic pop: music that's designed to be played in the heart of the night but is snappy and catchy enough to shine brightly during the day. A vibrant listening experience that feels fresh even as it flirts with the past. (4 stars; Editor's Choice; a Favorite Rock Album of 2020)


GLIDE MAGAZINE A coming-out party for vocalist Berit Ulseth…it's blues-jazz-soul with a vocalist that sings rather than shouts…exceptionally strong and musically rich…the band's fifth release and by far the best yet.


NEUFUTUR MAGAZINE A beautifully bastardized child of cabaret, pop, punk and rock, "High Times in the Dark" is the band’s strongest offering to date
