RICHELLE CLAIBORNE is a Charlottesville, VA native that has performed up and down the East Coast singing everything from jazz to metal to her own blend of original tunes and spoken word poetry aptly named "The Richelle Show”. Richelle is not only a singer, but an actress and a poet who has written 2 albums, several chapbooks, a one-woman show, and has made theater & music with countless other gifted artists for the past 30 years.  

The highly coveted "it" is quite elusive. It cannot be bought, taught, or learned. It can, on the other hand, be shared, abused, and lost. Performers who have "it" can communicate with an audience merely by standing on stage. Their aura demands attention, and their energy demands respect. When I think of "it," I think of Richelle Claiborne. Not only is she attractive, but she is confident and elegant, too. But even with all that going for her, she remains humble and laid back in a quirky artsy thespian slash triple threat kinda way (did I mention her modeling portfolio?).”
