Over the last two decades, Claire Lynch has often been the bluegrass artist other bluegrass musicians listen to. Dolly Parton credits Claire with “one of the sweetest, purest and best lead voices in the music business today.” Plenty of bluegrass and country listeners seek out Claire Lynch the songwriter, whose songs have been recorded by the Seldom Scene, Patty Loveless, Kathy Mattea, Cherryholmes, the Whites, and many more. And then there's the Claire Lynch Band, a group of bluegrass A-listers who can swing, can go out on the contemporary edge, and can delve into the depths of pure bluegrass gospel. Claire is something of a hidden treasure of bluegrass, but once you get to know her music you'll keep up the acquaintance for a long time.
