Claire Coupland - Nanaimo House Concert

Victoria indie-folk musician Coupland is making a name for herself as a moving song writer, a skilled vocalist, and a compelling guitarist combining smooth finger picking, jazz influenced progressions and soaring melodies. She effortlessly pulls her audience into her personal and honest world of life experiences touching on themes of love, self-doubt and optimism in the world around her. With the vocal power of Susan Tedeschi and the velvety softness and precision of Eva Cassidy she brings a graceful contemporary feel to indie folk music, always with a touch of her “wicked sense of humour” (Rik Emmett, Triumph).

Claire's latest full-length LP, New Light is a collection of exciting new songs with bluegrass, folk, soft rock and grunge flavours. From the tender folk musings of Sailor Boy, to The Flame, a genre bending 'Carly Simon meets Nirvana' adult contemporary journey through temptation, to harmonies rich and lyrically tense Simon & Garfunkel influenced Truth, the album showcases Coupland's musical versatility.
