Clarence was equally inspired by soul greats like Curtis Mayfield, Marvin Gaye, Nina Simone and the great American songwriters such as Bob Dylan, Neil Young and Joni Mitchell.

"'Til a Spring Wind Blows Again" - LIVE in the studio
Label: HYENA Records
Street Date: October 13, 2009
BIO OVERVIEW: New Orleans, the new release from Clarence Bucaro due October 13 on Hyena Records, is a set of 10 timeless songs brought to life by the 29-year-old singer/songwriter's stunning falsetto vocals infused with the flowing spirit of the Big Easy. New Orleans, named after the city where it was written and recorded, was produced by Anders Osborne and features a stellar ensemble, including Kirk Joseph (founding member of Dirty Dozen Brass Band), Doug Belote and Mike Burkhart. Dripping with romance, despair and the restlessness of youth, it documents an intense love affair with the enchanting Crescent City as a backdrop.
Clarence Bucaro, a Cleveland Ohio native, moved to New Orleans in 2004 after a long two-year haul touring the U.S. and Europe and hiking the entire length of the Appalachian Trail. He intended to soak up its rich culture and make music with his mentor and collaborator Anders Osborne. Soon thereafter, Bucaro found himself enmeshed in a relationship. The combination of both his new love and home opened the creative floodgates. The results culminated in recording this collection of freshly penned songs in a single six-hour session. Bucaro abandoned the project, however, immediately after laying the tracks to tape, the personal nature of the material weighing heavy on him. Soon thereafter, he would head west to Los Angeles to find new directly before eventually settling a year later in New York City. After the release of his critically acclaimed Til Spring, Bucaro decided to open up the material from the New Orleans sessions, going on to complete it and now share it for release.
The final results are 10 intimate songs that range from the sweet syncopated soul of "Let Me Let Go of You" to the skewed rocker "The Other End," the pleading gospel-tinged "Light in Your Eyes" to the intimate ballads "Matters of the Heart," "On My Coast" and "Abandoned Mine." The warm tone of the recording paired with Bucaro's love worn lyrics and heartfelt delivery call to mind artists like Jackson Browne and Van Morrison, but never impeding on his uniqueness as an artist.
