As the official Poet Laureate of Lizard Lick, NC, CLAUDIO is performing his humorous poetic / folkloric tribute to the small crossroads of a township in the company of the renowned lifetime Mayor of Lizard Lick, Charles Wood, himself. This footage is an excerpt from the biographical documentary about his extraordinary artistic career as filmed by Director Rob Underhill for whom Claudio recently portrayed the iconic Ernest Hemingway in the film: NO CHILD.
To fully appreciate the performance magic of Claudio’s fully orchestrated original recitals and storytelling you must treat yourself to his new album: “A Wind in the Veils” now available through the artist. The opening performance with musician Jim Beckwith called “Mud in Your Eye” is being hailed worldwide as the best and most insightful, truly literary, perspective ever written and passionately performed about Hurricane Katrina devastating the City of New Orleans and its neighboring regions. “The Big Easy ain’t easy no more”…never to be forgotten.
*This launch is dedicated to Mayor Charles Wood and the memory of Joe Cocker.
