About Claire Anne Taylor 

"One of those rare artists that comes along once in a blue moon." - Shane Howard (Goanna)  "One could make many a comparison when it comes to Claire Anne Taylor's voice – Janis Joplin, Joni Mitchell, early Mia Dyson, all spring to mind and all are evident in Taylor's vocal delivery. But essentially, it's hers and hers alone. Husky, smokey, velvet and barbed, it's an instrument in itself and it commands your attention" - Sydney Morning Herald  With a distinctively emotive and powerful vocal ability that simultaneously expresses both an inner strength and a vulnerability, Tasmania's Claire Anne Taylor has garnered a reputation for her powerful live shows – tough and tender performances that command audiences to a silence.

Taylor and her five siblings were raised in a quaint bush home, rich with creativity and music. During her childhood, the Taylor barn was home to a family of Tasmanian Devils and some say that Taylor developed her unique, raspy singing style from nights spent listening to the devils growling beneath the floorboards.
