July 23, 2008 ~ Mountain Stage

This Sunday I’ll be singing some harmonies with Peter Bradley Adams on the NPR broadcasted show Mountain Stage. Amos Lee, Papa Mali, the Steeldrivers, and Sharon Little are also on the bill. I’m so excited!! It will be the first time my voice will be on National Public Radio. I’ve done local public shows before, but this program will be heard live locally, and then syndicated across the nation in fall. It’s so funny that one of my concerns is what I’m going to wear!

June 23, 2008 ~ Shows This Week

That’s right, there’s 3 of them. I wish every week was like this one. Tuesday night I’m headed to Houston to sing at the Mucky Duck with my friend Peter Bradley Adams. Abra Moore and Will Sexton are also on the bill. Friday night Peter’s opening for me and my band at Showlush’s back yard, 1704 Kinney Avenue here in Austin. It’s a great scene and a fun party that is open to anyone--as long as you behave yourself for the most part. If you have any questions about your behavior, please email me and we can discuss whether or not it’s appropriate. Saturday I’ll be with Peter again at the Cactus Cafe on the U.T. Campus. It’s gonna be a hot week in more ways than one!!

Love,

Claire

June 3, 2008 ~ Living In Austin

I don’t think it can get much better really. Being from one music capital and living in the other. It’s just perfect. I’ve been here for 5 months now and this city and its people keep inspiring me over and over. My move has been great fodder for many new songs, and there’s a new record in its early stages. I have also found myself a great new band that has helped me to rock more than I ever thought I could. The adventures I have here are frequent and fantastic. Stay tuned to hear more!
