In mid-2007 Claire left Nashville and followed her heart to Houston, TX. She couldn’t resist the lure of nearby Austin though, and after a few months hit the road again, trading one music capital for another. The new experiences and heightened emotions from the two moves, as well as the inspiring surroundings of Austin, proved to be ample songwriting fodder. Jumping in feet first, Claire quickly made friends in the local music community, forming a band with bass player Matt Eskey (Mojo Nixon, Randy Weeks), and
producer/drummer Stephen Belans (Rosie Flores, Alejandro Escovedo). Since the summer of 2008 the trio has been playing shows around Austin and has started recording Claire’s second album. This new collection of songs tells a passionate tale of loving, leaving, and living in Texas and will be released in 2009 by Austin indie Freedom
Records (Jon Dee Graham, Resentments, Elizabeth McQueen).
I was coming home today and saw a sign posted on a tree. It said Claire Small wedding and pointed to a gravel road. Kind of a rare name but I sort of doubted you would be getting married in my backyard. Upon further investagition I discovered that Roger Claire was getting married to Heather Small. Anyway, I am thinking about you today. hope you and your music are doing fine.

well, it has been a long and winding road, and an even longer time coming, but my debut CD, I Remember, is FINALLY HERE!!! YAY!!!!!
to celebrate, American HeartBeat Records(tm) has arranged a FREE DOWNLOAD of Now Is The Time in exchange for a valid email address. Now Is The Time is a brand new, upbeat song I wrote: we are living in turbulent times. suddenly it is okay to be greedy and heartless? no way! a song of hope for our future, a new vision of America and the world.
we have a bunch of exciting things planned to kick this whole thing off, and we need to get a better picture of who our friends are, so the FREE DOWNLOAD form will ask you a few questions, like, what is your country and nearest major city. it all takes maybe 15 seconds.
