Coffee House Open Mic Starring Claire Coupland

There  is a pureness to Claire’s voice that can silence a room.  A moving  songwriter and compelling guitarist, Claire combines smooth folk finger  picking, jazz influenced progressions and soaring melodies. She  effortlessly pulls her audience into her personal world of life  experiences. Like many others, the stasis of the pandemic left Claire  Coupland to look inward toward a collection of stories and songs that  had been lying dormant in her imagination. Darker and more vulnerable  reckonings of self worth, escaping abuse, painful goodbyes, fragile  family dynamics and hope for the future are all intricately woven themes  in her sophomore album entitled, “New Light”, coming February, 2023.  After joining forces with Juno award winning musician Sam Weber  (Bahamas) and some of LA’s finest musicians (Dawes, Alan Hampton, Garret  Lang), the album presents fresh and spontaneous arrangements of her  songs with mood filled percussion, slinky guitars, sparkling piano and  shades of grunge and California rock.  Claire Coupland brings a graceful  contemporary feel to indie folk music, always with a touch of her  “wicked sense of humour” (Rik Emmett, Triumph).
