With her violin and voice at the center of her music, Kathryn Claire weaves together stories and melodies rooted in her classical and traditional musical background while infusing each song and composition with an energy and electricity that is palpable. Her musicality and joy on stage is infectious. Honest and poetic writing, crystalline vocals, impassioned violin compositions, and an ability to move seamlessly across genres, are the hallmark of Kathryn Claire's original and diverse sound.
She will be touring in support of her latest album, Eastern Bound For Glory. The masterful 10-song release signifies a homecoming to her solo career and back to her beloved home state of Oregon. Intriguingly, it’s an aesthetic departure from her previous work in that the record explores bold indie rock instrumentation and vibey spaghetti western atmospherics.
Kathryn was inspired by her life on the road over an intense period of touring internationally. “I caught a lot of these songs during sound checks, while in green rooms, and while staying in other people’s apartments. It was a blur, but, throughout it, it was like my voice was calling to me,” Kathryn shares.
Kathryn has previously issued five solo albums over 20 years. In that time as a songwriter, violinist, guitar player, and singer, she’s homed in on an elegant folk aesthetic that recalls the literate and sophisticated musicality of Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, and traditional folk music. Outside of her solo career, Kathryn has toured, performed and taught extensively in the US, Japan, The Netherlands, India, Belgium and France.
Utilizing the immense talent of her band featuring Allen Hunter on bass, and Sid Ditson on violin, Don Henson on piano and Micah Kassell on drums, Kathryn Claire delivers her own unique brand of harmonic indie-folk music with her latest release, Eastern Bound For Glory.
