Mark Lemaire and Claudia Russell are “California Calling”. What happens when Mark Lemaire, (of Mark and Cindy Lemaire) joins forces with Claudia Russell (of Claudia Russell and Bruce Kaplan)?  The audacious duo “California Calling” is born!  When Claudia’s songs are audaciously joined and adapted to fit with Mark’s, unique talents are mingled in new ways. Favorites from both groups’ repertoires are reimagined in surprising configurations, becoming greater than the sum of their original parts. California Calling is now poised to take the UK by storm in their September tour!

On Friday, August 26^th Timbre Folk and Baroque presents the “Bon Voyage” tour of California Calling in Berkeley! Come see two great artists bring their musical voices together to present songs you thought you knew well, but now have unique flavors added. Come enjoy what we’ve created before we get on that plane to Edinburgh!!
