The Claire Lynch Band will stop by the Cosmic American Jamboree for some live music and conversation about their gig later that night at the Mockingbird in Staunton.
By any measure, Rounder Recording artists The Claire Lynch Band are high on the bluegrass world’s A-List, with musicians whose accolades include International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) Female Vocalist of the Year and two Grammy nominations for Best Bluegrass Album (Claire); multiple award fiddle and mandolin champion (Bryan McDowell); the MerleFest Doc Watson Guitar Champion (Matt Wingate); and two time IBMA Bass Player of the Year awards (Mark Schatz).
What has been said about Claire Lynch:
"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
"one of Nashville's most quietly important performers...gentle, nearly evangelical fervor" --The Daily News, Los Angeles, CA
"timeless" --Mojo, London
"Claire has complimented many of my records with her beautiful harmonies, but she has one of the sweetest, purest and best lead voices in the music business today. I'm so happy to see and hear her shine on her own. I love this CD and I love Claire. She's a great gal." --Dolly Parton
