Claire Kelly

Americana singer/songstress and Midwest native, Claire Kelly, made the move to Nashville in 2016 to pursue her music and songwriting career full time. Since then she’s toured internationally, had a song placed on an ABC Network primetime television show and won a songwriting contest at Jack White’s Third Man Records. Nashville has quickly become home. Kelly was recently interviewed by the Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI) about her success in the sync world as an independent artist. In 2020 she was named a finalist for both The Kerrville Folk Festival “Grassy Hill New Folk Songwriting Competition” and the “Songwriter Serenade” songwriting contest in La Grange, TX.

In the past couple of years, she’s opened up for acts like Colbie Caillat, Anderson East and 2019 American Idol winner, Maddie Popee. Claire Kelly has also performed at festivals across the states such as Milwaukee’s Summerfest, The Muscle Shoals Songwriters Festival, The Lights Fest, Steel Bridge Song Fest and Mile of Music.

Always writing from the heart, the singer, songwriter and self-proclaimed optimist’s latest project, “The Scenic Route” speaks to life’s unexpected twists and turns and finding beauty in the detours.
