Grammy Nominee Claire Lynch to Perform at White Gull March 21

March 8, 2018 by Kate Rispens

 

Grammy nominee Claire Lynch and her band will perform Wednesday, March 21, at the White Gull Inn in Fish Creek. Tickets for the 8 p.m. performance are $20.

Long recognized and praised as a creative force in acoustic music, Claire Lynch is a pioneer who continually pushes the boundaries of the bluegrass genre. Her career has been decorated with many accolades including three GRAMMY nominations, six International Bluegrass Music Association awards and the prestigious United States Artists Walker Fellowship.

Dolly Parton credits Claire with “one of the sweetest, purest and best lead voices in the music business today.” Her harmonies have graced the recordings of many stellar musicians. Equally gifted as a writer, her songs have been recorded by The Seldom Scene, Patty Loveless, Kathy Mattea, Cherryholmes, The Whites and others.

Blazing her own trail in the mid-70’s when there were few role models for young women in the genre, Claire Lynch made history when she led the Front Porch String Band, which evolved in the 80’s and 90’s into “one of the sharpest and most exciting post-modern bluegrass bands on the circuit.” She formed her own Claire Lynch Band in 2005 and has since consistently been a top pick of prestigious publications, critics and audiences across the U.S. and beyond.

In September 2016, Claire released North By South – a tribute to America’s northern neighbor, which resulted in her third Grammy nomination, for Best Bluegrass Album. Produced by Compass Records’ co-founder Alison Brown, the recording pays homage to some of her favorite Canadian songwriters, interpreting tracks from greats above the Great Lakes like Gordon Lightfoot and Ron Sexsmith.

As one observer writes, “Listening to Claire Lynch sing is not something to be undertaken casually. Her songs and stage presence demand the listener’s rapt attention. She’s an intensely soulful singer, whose distinctive voice resonates with power and strength, yet retains an engaging innocence and crystalline purity.”

An optional pre-concert fixed price dinner will be served at 6 p.m. The menu consists of meatloaf with bacon, Monterey Jack cheese, and caramelized onion, Yukon gold mashed potatoes and roasted root vegetables, wedge salad topped with buttermilk blue cheese dressing, and Chocolate Mint Cake a la mode for dessert.

For ticket purchase, dinner reservations and more info, call the White Gull Inn at 920.868.3517.
