Here's something you might be interested in.
Two-time International Bluegrass Music Association Female Vocalist of the Year Claire Lynch has become a creative force in acoustic music and at the forefront of women who have expanded the bluegrass genre. She has twice earned Grammy nominations and was recently awarded one of the 50 USA Fellowships from United States Artists (USA). With only seven awards going to musicians this year, the 2012 USA Fellows represent the most innovative and influential artists in their fields - including cutting-edge thinkers and traditional practitioners from the fields of architecture and design, crafts and traditional arts, dance, literature, media, music, theater arts, and visual arts.
Lynch has crafted one of the most instantly identifiable sounds in acoustic music, encompassing classic bluegrass and thoughtful infusions of contemporary folk, country, rock, and swing. Her songs have been recorded by Kathy Mattea, Patty Loveless, and others, and she has performed as a backing/harmony vocalist with Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris, and Pam Tillis.
The Claire Lynch Band includes MerleFest Doc Watson Guitar Champion Matt Wingate, two-time IBMA Bass Player of the Year Mark Schatz, and Bryan McDowell, who scored a triple first-place win at the Winfield Kansas National Flatpicking Championship on guitar, fiddle, and mandolin.
Lynch will be previewing new songs from a forthcoming album in 2013 on roots label Compass Records.
Here's the deets: Claire Lynch And The Claire Lynch Band, Sunday January 27 @ the Del Mar Powerhouse, 1658 Coast Blvd-Powerhouse Park.
