Claiborne is a seasoned entertainer who has performed on stages all over the world including Las Vegas, England and Holland.  After wrapping up a 10 year stint in Las Vegas with her group “Claiborne and Company” she fulfilled her life long dream of performing in a musical comedy theatrical production.  She played a principal role as the saloon-singing Ms Kitty, in the Laughlin, Nevada production of “Sagebrush” by playwright and director, Mr. Randy Clifton.  She shared the stage with Hoyt Axton and Ruth Buzzy. 

 

After leaving Las Vegas in 1995, she spent two years entertaining crowds of tourists and locals in the Branson area tourist town, Eureka Springs, Arkansas.  During that time she was the exclusive entertainer for the four-star dinner club in the old historic New Orleans Hotel.  Doing her own brand of unique nightclub entertainment in a cabaret style format, she performed jazz, blues and Broadway tunes.  She maintained her own trio but was often joined by guest artists from Las Vegas and Branson theaters.  In addition, she was a featured artist in Eureka’s famed annual Blues and Jazz festivals.  She also performed with the Branson Big-Band directed by the late Mr. Rick Frazier, saxophonist and horn section leader from the Wayne Newton Orchestra.

 

Claiborne can now be found performing to a packed house on Friday and Saturday nights at the world renowned Beluga Martini Bar in the heart of Buckhead, Atlanta.  And more recently she has been splitting her time between Beluga Martini Bar and Belloo’s Martini Bar in Columbus, GA where she has been the anchor entertainment appearing one or two weekends a month since 2006. 

 

Her unique style of entertainment has made Belloo’s the sophisticated late night place to be in Columbus and Beluga the number one Atlanta hot spot for live entertainment for the last ten years.  Claiborne combines her stage experience from night clubs, concerts, major casino venues and theater in a delightful blend of musical comedy and classic song and dance.  Her presentation is typically humorous, sometimes poignant and always unpredictable.  Whether in front of a full orchestra, a combo or paired with her favorite piano player, she delivers her own style of class and sophistication with a Bette Midler flair for comedy and zaniness.  She never fails to touch her audiences and keep them coming back for more.
