Music
What People Are Saying
“These are songs to lean into, songs to soothe your soul”
“The first time I heard Claire sing, I got goose-bumps as I was reminded of the late, great Kate Wolf. Claire’s voice is clear as a bell, melodic as a thrush, and her heart is as wide as the open sky. Like Kate, Claire’s music embodies a soul deeply connected to the natural world. Her voice comforts me, and she sings with a heart that radiates calm and joy. Her medicine is something we could all use more of these days.”
— Erica Wheeler, Singer-Songwriter & Workshop Presenter
“I've always loved the way Claire places herself among the seasons, among the landscapes and their inhabitants that have nourished her life. So few singer-songwriters give me the feeling that they know the world-that-feeds-them with the intimacy she has. I love the way Claire gives a song: clear, open, without gimmickry, and with a wide open heart.”
— Gordon Bok, Musician and Folklorist
“Claire’s programs provided us with a whole new perspective on our town and the heritage of our community. Now we look at outcrops of bedrock, the folds of the earth, and the oxbows of rivers with new eyes – knowing they are the prologue for the ecological and cultural landscapes that followed. Thank you for giving us even more reasons to love our town!”
— Steve Bachler (Putney PLACE Program)
