Claire is Image Journal's Artist of the Month for April 2009.
"Many of her original songs sound like they might be traditionals, with the stripped-down diction of the oldest American music and the beauty of Shaker furniture, but all bear Holley’s distinct stamp: a spareness that is at times eerie, at times sweet, always full of grace."
Come see the Song Sirens. For more info, go to SHOWS.
Hush was picked as one of Performing Songwriter's DIY Top 12 "Hush is a rare gift, both a quiet meditation and melodically sparkling treasure." To read more, go to: http://performingsongwriter.com/pages/music/116.cfm

This April 2009, Claire travels to her home state to join Mary Chapin Carpenter, Kate Campbell, and Caroline Herring for a concert in association with the Eudora Welty Centennial Celebration.
From a recent review of Hush: "Hush is a beautiful album project; it's as strong a piece of work as anything Holley has ever released."
