Concert: Claire Kelly (USA/Nashville)

Claire Kelly - singer, songwriter and self-proclaimed optimist - takes her music on the road with a simple mission: to spread good cheer wherever she plays. She has performed everywhere from living-room concerts to major festivals, and has opened for artists including Colbie Caillat, Anderson East and 49 Winchester. At songwriting events such as Backstage Nashville and Bluebird on 3rd she has shared the stage with Nashville legends Shane McAnally, Josh Osbourne and Tony Arata.

In a world that can feel heavy, Claire Kelly writes about gratitude, love and kindness - and Nashville has taken notice. Her song "Tapestry", about the people who shape us for the better, won the 2022 Bluebird Golden Pick Songwriting Contest. "Drunk Girls", a cheerful anthem about being kind to strangers, reached the Top 10 of the 2024 NSAI Songwriting Contest. "Dandelion Wine" and "Running Out" from her album "The Scenic Route" (2022) made her a finalist at the Kerrville Folk Festival, the Songwriter Serenade and the International Songwriting Competition.

Her latest album "Can't Start Loving You Again" (October 2024) features "Together Again", used in the trailer for the Sundance-awarded film "I'll Be Your Mirror". Her music has also been featured on ABC Network, Max, Hallmark TV, the Miss Universe Pageant and the Netflix series "Love is Blind". She marked the album's release with a European tour through Germany, Poland and Denmark.
