BIO

With the release of her debut singles in 2023, Americana artist-to-watch Clare Doyle garnered immediate attention for her modern blend of soulful country and rootsy rock, alongside the bold lyricism that Music in Minnesota calls “a fresh perspective in emotional storytelling.”

Originally from Saint Paul, MN, Doyle had settled in New Orleans, LA until the global pandemic forced a move back to her hometown, where she began to rediscover the musical identity she’d neglected for years. Armed with a decade of heartache, adventure, addiction, and life on the road, she began to alchemize raw emotions into a collection of songs that run the gamut from clever and rollicking, to gritty and gut-wrenching. She draws on a range of influences to write candidly about loving, losing, hurting, and making a hot mess of things.

She was named one of First Avenue’s Best New Bands of 2023, Music in Minnesota’s Emerging Artists of 2024, and has been tapped to support acts like The Cactus Blossoms, Them Coulee Boys, and Turn Turn Turn.
