Description
There is a pureness to Claire's voice that can silence a room. A moving songwriter and compelling guitarist, Claire combines her smooth signature folk finger picking, jazz influenced progressions and soaring melodies. With a powerful yet tender vocal delivery comparable to Eva Cassidy and Susan Tedeschi, Claire has been relentlessly touring her new album and drawing audiences in to her intimate and heart wrenching performances.
Her new album “New Light” delivers carefully crafted, darker and more vulnerable reckonings of self worth, escaping abuse, painful goodbyes, fragile family dynamics and hope for the future. After joining forces with Juno award winning musician Sam Weber (Bahamas) and some of LA’s finest musicians (Dawes, Alan Hampton), the album presents fresh and spontaneous arrangements of her songs with mood filled percussion, slinky guitars, sparkling piano and shades of grunge and California rock. Claire Coupland brings a graceful contemporary feel to indie folk music, always with a touch of her “wicked sense of humour” (Rik Emmett, Triumph).
"Each of the nine tracks on New Light possesses mystery, strength, inspiration, and courage. Listen to each, and take a moment to let them soak in. You won’t regret it." -Canadian Beats
"The worlds of jazz and folk are a pair meant to be, merging the two effortlessly with her crisp croon overtop slick guitar lines as she paints vivid pictures with her lyricism in true folk tradition" Dusty Organ
