Clare plays guitar, piano, banjo, ukulele, harmonica, bass, percussion and drums and is inspired by legendary women in music from across the spectrum of genres. Her voice can be likened to Eva Cassidy, Judith Durham, Karen Carpenter & Joni Mitchell.

Alongside her husband, @lawrence_menard, Clare performs in the Americana duo, @thosefolk. They have performed at the @woodfordfolkfestival @blue_mountains_music_festival @gympiemusicmuster and recently presented a 17-date headline tour of the UK.

With a stage presence that exudes warmth, Clare makes audience members feel like fast friends. Through her music, she is passionate about sharing a sense of community, love and hope.

Clare is an accomplished songwriter, with 15 years of experience of writing music. Since 2021, Clare has worked at @thesongmuster, a collaborative songwriting experience at the @aicmgympie. In this space she has worked alongside established and emerging folk and country singers.

We drove 1,000km to see @gillianwelchofficial and @davidrawlingsmusic at @sydneyoperahouse for Lawrence’s birthday. The concert was absolutely breathtaking from the first note, to the standing ovation at the end of the triple encore. It was incredibly inspiring, and hands-down one of the best concerts we’ve ever been to. Thanks to Gillian & Dave for paving a path that so many of us dream to walk down ✨ by @clarequinnmusic
