Long recognized and
praised as a creative force in acoustic music, Claire Lynch is a
pioneer who continually pushes the boundaries of the bluegrass
genre. The current Claire Lynch Band is a powerful juggernaut, a
quartet that has the innate ability to perfectly interpret the
beauty, subtlety, and genre-defying sophistication of Claire’s
music.
Claire’s career is fittingly bookended by two IBMA Female
Vocalist of the Year awards: in 2010, in recognition of her
current work with the Claire Lynch Band, and in 1997, for her
influential work with the Front Porch String Band, and as a solo
artist.
"Her original songs display her gifts as a songwriter of
uncommon skill, and her outside song choices reinforce her
artistic self, one who feels deeply about home, family,
strength, resilience and courage."
– Mary Chapin Carpenter
"a sterling, silvery vocal presence and a gift for supple,
emotional ornamentation....Lynch's talent is a
diamond...gorgeous voice and sense of purpose, supported by (a)
superb ensemble"
Richard Harrington, The Washington Post
"fine songwriter, superb vocalist"
