if you live in NYC or BOSTON, please join me and my friend/ collaborator ANNA SOLOMON for our performances of A LITTLE SUITE FOR THE LITTLE BRIDE on 9-22-11 (NYC) or 10-4-11 (BOSTON).   i’ll be singing songs and creating soundscapes on fiddle and guitar routed through all sorts of fun pedals (loops/ delay/ overdrive).   anna will be reading from her novel, THE LITTLE BRIDE.   to get a sneak peek of what you can expect from the shows, check out our interview on WBUR 90.9.

hope to see you there!

this is from a few weeks back. i’m even bigger now. which means that it’s time to SLOW down. i’ve posted my last performances for 2011 on the TOUR PAGE, so go check them out and see if any of them are in your neck of the woods.

the bulk of the shows are collaborative performances with my friend, ANNA SOLOMON, whose debut novel, THE LITTLE BRIDE hits the shelves on 9-6-11. to celebrate, Anna and I will present A LITTLE SUITE for THE LITTLE BRIDE, a song cycle inspired by Anna’s novel that weaves together story and song in a seamless performance. expect an exploration of my favorite themes: memory, loss, love, immigration, and the creative process itself. (if you are interested in booking one of these performances, please contact me: clareburson (at) gmail (dot) com.)

once these last performances are wrapped up, i will hunker down, nest, and rest – but not without some musical activities – namely, guitar and fiddle lessons – privately and through the fabulous community arts center, SPOKE THE HUB in park slope, brooklyn. if you are interested in beginning group guitar lessons, contact STH. for private lessons, contact me directly at clareburson (at) gmail (dot) com.

So powerful that the song “Goodbye My Love” may prove to be a dangerous listening experience on a rainy day like this… Clare’s melodies are supported by her gentle alto, at times reminiscent of an early Joni Mitchell with a slight lower register.” – The Deli Magazine
