By any measure, the Clair Lynch Band is high on the bluegrass wold’s A-list, with musicians whose individual accolades are too numerous to quantify. Ms. Lynch’s music is seasoned with a down-home sensibility, and her voice is described by Dolly Parton as “one of the sweetest, purest and best lead voices in the music industry today.”
In addition to her two Grammy nominations, Ms. Lynch has had numerous single hits in the top of the Gavin Americana and Bluegrass Unlimited charts. In 1997, Claire Lynch was nominated as “Female Vocalist of the Year” by the International Bluegrass Music Association.
Since March, 2006, the Claire Lynch Band has been touring with a moving and impressive CD, "New Day,” and in October 2007, Rounder released a new CD titled "Crowd Favorites - A Claire Lynch Collection.”
Opening act, the Bluegrass Pharoahs will take the stage at 7 p.m., followed by the Claire Lynch Band at 8 p.m.
