Claire Hitchins’ musical sensibility was fashioned among the Blue Ridge Mountains, formed as much by the deciduous forests and swimming holes of her home state as by the traditional songs of the American South. Since the release of her debut album, These Bodies, in fall 2016, Claire has enchanted audiences all over the country with her sincere, soulful folk melodies. Accompanied by brilliant North Carolina multi-instrumentalists Alex Bingham and Evan Ringel, Claire’s nuanced vocals glimmer atop currents of fiddle, banjo, double bass and trombone, drawing listeners into the depth, clarity and generous ebb and flow of her honest songs.
