Claire's debut full-length record is a mix of acoustic pop with bossa nova, klezmer, and gypsy melodies that are driven by her distinctive and dynamic vocal and guitar styles.

“LEDGER” is Claire’s follow-up to her 2004 EP “CANTILEVER” and contains 10 songs, each with distinct personalities and musical styles. The album was recorded at Nashville ‘underground’ producer Joe McMahan’s home studio on 2” tape in a grassroots, low budget manner and keeps a cohesive sound between the musicians. Special guest appearances such Nashville talents as string-maestro Chris Carmichael, percussionists Dann Sherrill & Brian Owings, singer Jennifer Niceley, Lambchop’s drummer Sam Baker, and Calexico’s pedal steel man Paul Niehaus pepper the record with surprises at every melodic twist and turn. Claire’s dynamic acoustic guitar and her bandmates’ Kyle Kegerreis’ upright bass, and Hans Holzen’s hollow-body electric guitar remain at the core of the tracks and are driven by steady drums and Brazilian percussion. Joe’s improvisations on the Hammond organ, lap steel, various guitars, and omnichord flow throughout.
