Official Claire is one of Chicago’s finest new songwriters. She works with calm confession, deep wit, and the details of a poet– all on top of big, swaying hooks.
The Chicago Reader praised her “incisive, witty lyrics… a combination of sensitivity and straight talk.”
She’s also a calm shredder of guitar– both gritty and delicate.
Claire grew up in the Chicagoland area. Her music caught the attention of former Wilco member, LeRoy Bach. Bach is now a member of her live band, and a regular studio collaborator.
Official Claire’s most recent studio offering, Midnight Dickbiter, features five remarkable new compositions. Claire played and engineered the majority of instruments. She’s joined by Bach and drummer Quin Kirchner (Ryler Walker, Wild Belle, Bill McKay).
Claire also maintains an active performance schedule, traveling throughout the Midwest every month, and an east coast tour planned for the Fall. She was also recently chosen by Slow Pulp as featured opening act at their Lollapalooza after-party.
Her live quartet features LeRoy Bach, as well as Brooks Hannon & Jake Keenum from Crisis Actress.
