April 28, 2009 ~ Making The New Record!
So it has officially begun--the band and I have started recording my next album. We’ve spent a total of about 7 days in the studio here and there, and have been making some good progress. The magic is happening at an incredible home studio here in Austin that has awesome equipment, a great sounding room, and a relaxed feel. From the moment I walked in I felt right at home. I’m going about making this record very differently than I did Ledger in Nashville. The second time around I think I’m learning even more: more about myself, my abilities, and my limitations; how to listen; how to speak up; when to push on, and when to give up and try another day. So far it’s been so good and I can’t wait to hold this record in my hand. I am not exactly sure when that moment will be, but we’re shooting for early fall.
Stay tuned for updates and possible song posts!
Love,
Claire

March 9, 2009 ~ NX35 & SXSW
Don’t let the names confuse you. Yes, both are festivals here in Texas, but the NX35 is up in Denton--just north of Fort Worth, and the the fabulous SXSW is of course here in Austin.
I’ll be playing up at Dan’s Silver Leaf in Denton this Thursday night at 8, followed by The Heelers and James McMurtry.
For SXSW I’m playing a free unofficial showcase called TeXChromosome down at Opal Divine’s on W. 6th street. There are some truly great other rockin’ Texas women such as Penny Jo Pullus, Chrissy Flatt, and Bonny Holmes. It all starts at 11am on March 20th and the band and I hit the stage at 3:45pm.
I’ll be around all week during SX and would love to hang with anyone coming down from Nashville. I may even have some couch space available but it’s going fast.....
Love,
Claire
January 14, 2009 ~ “The Loft” with Peter Bradley Adams on XM Radio
If anyone out there subscribes to XM Radio and is a regular listener to The Loft Channel, they will be airing the session I did this summer singing with Peter Bradley Adams on February 2nd. Email me and let know how it sounds (as I just have regular radio). Love you all!
