What sets Claire Anne Taylor apart is her voice and her storytelling. With a soulful, velvet and world-worn quality, she sings stories that command audiences to silence. With a distinctively emotive and powerful vocal ability that simultaneously expresses both an inner strength and a vulnerability, Taylor has garnered a reputation for her breathtaking live shows – tough and tender performances that see her develop an intimate rapport with fans.
Taylor has toured extensively around Australia, including two national album launch tours, a co-headline tour with William Crighton and two Festival Of Small Halls tours. She has also played at numerous festivals, including: Byron Bay Bluesfest, Nannup Music Festival, Mullum Music Festival, Port Fairy Folk Festival, Dashville Skyline and Dark Mofo.
Taylor has released three studio albums; Elemental, All The Words and most recently Giving It Away.
Giving It Away received widespread critical acclaim with Sounds of Oz declaring ‘I haven’t heard an album like this, or a voice like Claire Anne Taylor’s, in such a long time. It’s special’ and Rhythms Magazine revealing “it’s hard to actually get through it all without shedding a few tears.’
