An Intimate Evening with Singer/Songwriter/Actor D.C. Anderson, Featuring Rose Snyder and Claudia Anderson


D.C. Anderson’s lyrics are poetic, confessional, searing, sometimes comic, explorations of love, family, negotiation, joy, heartache, gratitude. He has the soul of a folksinger, the voice of a troubadour and the spirit of a storyteller with a lifelong investment in possibility and wonder.



D.C. Anderson is a Chicago born actor, singer and a songwriter. Northlight and Steppenwolf Theaters are on his resume along with a multi year run in THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA on Broadway and on tour. Other tours include THE LIFE AND ADVENTURES OF NICHOLAS NICKLEBY, MARTIN GUERRE and PIPPIN. The premiere of Michael John LaChiusa’s QUEEN OF THE MIST (his Off Broadway debut) produced an original cast recording. Most recently: ‘Matthew Cuthbert’ in Goodspeed’s premiere of the Matt Vinson and Matte O’Brien musical ANNE OF GREEN GABLES. His all acoustic vocal/piano/guitar recordings of originals and covers on the LML MUSIC label, of which there are over a dozen, are available on most streaming services and YouTube. D.C. is a Bistro Award recipient (Singer/Songwriter) and multi MAC Award nominee in the categories of Male Vocalist, Song, and Recording of the Year. 


Actor/singer/songwriter/storyteller, Chicago born Claudia Anderson has had a decades long career as a college professor throughout the United States, landing back in Chicago teaching voice at the DePaul Theater School. Currently retired, she is making music all over Chicago - her passion being Irish traditional music as a vocalist and a player of the tin whistle, flute, guitar and bodhran. Her album of original songs is titled In Dreams I Can Fly.

“D.C.‘s albums make up an arrestingly moving body of work. Breathtaking performances of unparalleled beauty... An exquisite repertoire of originals and new discoveries.”

—Will Grega, Allmusic Guide



“Eccentric without being inaccessible and heartfelt without being pretentious, Anderson’s lyrics have made him a favorite of mine for years!”

—David Hurst



When you have a weekly radio show, musicians sometimes send you music in the hope that you'll play it. It isn't always (how do I put this delicately?)—umm…ahh—"good."  Occasionally, I like what I'm hearing, but more often than not, I simply ignore the unbidden musical offerings because, even if it is good, it's rarely a good fit for our show. Honestly, submitted music is so seldom usable, that I often don't even listen to it at all and just relegate it to "the dreaded pile."  This last week, I got an email from a gentleman who submitted his latest work to me with the hope of some radio play. He piqued my curiosity when he humbly apologized in his first sentence for taking up room in my inbox at all. I couldn't help it. I did the UNTHINKABLE! I listened to his work. It was good. Really good. I mean, the kind of good in which I said, I have to play this on Folk on the Water THIS WEEK. So thank you, D.C. Anderson, for sending your music. I'm not sure if I'm the first to play you on Folk Music Notebook, but I'm sure I will not be the last.”

—Dave Rowe - Folk on the Water
