Official Claire is one of Chicago’s finest new songwriters. She works with a poet's eye for detail, with calm confession, with playful sarcasm, and with a deep need for catharsis- all on top of memorable, swaying hooks.
She’s also a calm shredder of guitar, and can play gritty and delicate, all in one swoop. Claire is from the Chicagoland area. Her music caught the attention of fellow Chicagoan and ex-Wilco member, LeRoy Bach. Bach has become a studio collaborator and member of her live band.
Official Claire's latest studio offering, Midnight Dickbiter, was recorded last winter, and features five remarkable new compositions. Claire played and engineered the majority of instruments. She’s also joined by LeRoy Bach and drummer Quin Kirchner (Ryler Walker, Wild Belle, Bill McKay).
Joe Andrew is a songwriter from Chicago who constructs "beautifully doomed psych folk" utilizing a crooning baritone voice, cryptic prose and intricate finger-style guitar work. His latest release, Inferno, is a bleary-eyed dirge that melds acoustic blues with pulsating electric grind. A full length album is set to be released later this year.
