Clare Doyle

With the release of her debut singles in 2023, Americana artist-to-watch Clare Doyle garnered immediate attention for her modern blend of soulful country and rootsy rock, alongside the bold lyricism that Music in Minnesota calls “a fresh perspective in emotional storytelling.”

Originally from Saint Paul, MN, Doyle had settled in New Orleans, LA until the global pandemic forced a move back to her hometown, where she began to rediscover the musical identity she’d neglected for years. Armed with a decade of heartache, adventure, addiction, and life on the road, she began to alchemize raw emotions into a collection of songs that run the gamut from clever and rollicking, to gritty and gut-wrenching. She draws on a range of influences to write candidly about loving, losing, hurting, and making a hot mess of things.

She was named one of First Avenue’s Best New Bands of 2023, The Current’s Best New Artists of 2024, and has been tapped to support acts like The Cactus Blossoms, The Last Revel, and Them Coulee Boys.

Esther B Saw is a folk artist living in La Crosse, WI. Her howling waltzes and relatable melodies carry you with her as she unpacks her life through country tunes, pop bops, and half-assed hymns. She’s tender and sweet with an “ethos that is undeniably punk”.- Carter Wiedenhoeft (roommate).

This time around, Esther is accompanied by Mr. Anthony Speer: the bass doctor of the driftless region. Known for holding down the fort in Sugar Lads, The Lavender Project, Knee High July, and too many more, Mr. Speer brings a creative flair and sense of pure joy to Esther’s generally sad songs. Did we mention that he’s a total hottie?!
