Hot beats, icy noir, raving rock, stirring soul…the Claudettes reach new heights of aural audacity with the astonishing GARAGE GLAMOUR. Fiery and fabulous frontwoman Rachel Williams dazzles on this album, just as she has been on Claudettes stages since 2023. GARAGE GLAMOUR features production by Grammy winner/musical Renaissance man Steve Berkowitz and by JQ, who co-composed the score for smash TV series “The Bear” with Claudettes keyboardist/songwriter Johnny Iguana. Along with the band’s mighty Zach Verdoorn (bass, guitar) and Michael Caskey (drums) you’ll hear guest performances by revered blues/soul man John Primer and endlessly in-demand guitarist Ella Feingold (Silk Sonic, Eyrkah Badu) on GARAGE GLAMOUR. Advance copies (CD, vinyl) will be on hand at this Milwaukee show!

Special Guest Walt Hamburger is celebrated for his energetic and humorous stage presence, engaging audiences with every performance. Walt’s career highlights include a record deal with Joey Cape (Lagwagon), performances at major festivals, and collaborations with countless notable musicians. He’s also known for his charitable efforts offstage, raising funds for the Walt Hamburger Foundation. His latest record, “…And Louie” was released on Montreal’s Thousand Islands Records in 2025.

Band Bio:

Six albums into their lauded career, the Claudettes (of Chicago) continue to put a fascinating new spin on American roots music. Blues and R&B are laced with punk spirit and film-noir moods to create the band’s singular “garage cabaret” sound. The Claudettes have earned worldwide acclaim with their recordings and concerts that are equal parts 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 positively heroic rhythm section of Zach Verdoorn (bass, guitar, vocals) and Michael Caskey (drums). Outside the Claudettes, Iguana has toured with Junior Wells and Otis Rush, played on many Grammy-nominated albums and recorded with Buddy Guy, Junior Wells, 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.”

“A skewed cabaret band of blues, jazz and rockabilly…a sensibility that feels equal parts James Dean and David Lynch.”—Minneapolis Star-Tribune

“Holy Mackerel…I hear so many levels of what I consider amazing creativity…I hear touches of Jerry Lee Lewis at his most manic…of cinema…of multiple genres wrapping around one another…These guys are the B-movies of the music world—maybe not understood now, but in the future, the kings and queens of the universe!”—Frank Gutch Jr., No Depression

“The Claudettes Go Out! shows the band’s mastery of every era of American music, from the roots of the blues to today’s modern pop….the Claudettes pen standards for a new generation.”—J. Poet, Rock & Roll Globe
