Gig Description
I am very excited to be supporting the wonderful cello-wielding Monique Claire for her EP launch!
Fireside Sessions presents “By the Stars”, the EP Launch for Monique Clare, winner of the 2017 Folk Alliance Young Artist Award. Monique will be supported by return Fireside Sessions artist, singer-songwriter Lucy Wise.
More about the event:
Monique Clare is a cello-wielding songstress, hailing from the foothills of Mount Coot-tha. Between ongoing explorations into Scandinavian and American traditional folk, a classical cello degree and a Radiohead obsession, her beautifully quirky songs are a melting pot of eclectic influences. Gripping vocal lines are woven between earthy cello tones, born out of old traditions but injected with fresh, unconventional ideas. This year sees her embarking on a solo project as the FAA’s Young Folk Artist of 2017, after years of playing in various folk outfits including The Mulberry Collective and Rhiannon & Monique. This concert will be the launch of her debut EP.
