Clare Cowley

Brisbane/Meanjin-based artist from Allora, QLD

Experience the magic of folk storytelling woven into each note of Clare’s heartfelt melodies and weeping guitar.

Clare captured hearts with her jazz-inspired 'Black Seeds' and 'Need a Cuddle' following up with an enchanting sophomore album 'Desire notes' in 2023.

In collaboration with sound engineer Dylan Jeffreys, Clare unveiled her vinyl album and toured it through regional Queensland, Victoria and Tasmania. She is busy writing and recording new material that will continue to charm audiences in 2024.

Clare is a musical storyteller deeply grounded in the folk traditions she learnt in her hometown, Allora. Whether stunning audiences as a solo artist or accompanied by her band, The Flames, her performances resonate from the intimate corners of Queensland to the bustling city.
