Personalized Song
Want to give a memorable gift? Have Claire write a song for a special occasion
“The song that Claire wrote for my son and his fiancé was by far one of the best presents I have ever given. We had family members perform it at their rehearsal dinner before their wedding as a surprise. It was perfect. The whole process of working with Claire was so much fun and the song was way beyond my expectations.” Holt Crews
Booking

We will be in touch very soon!
Born and raised in the American South, Claire Holley grew up listening to her Dad’s classical (and country) records and soaking up her grandmother’s jazz piano playing. She began writing songs in college, and thanks to the support of WUNC and a generous producer, stumbled into a career of music. Her self-titled debut from Yep Roc Records was featured on NPR’s Weekend Edition, and Huffington Post called Claire’s voice “achingly beautiful.”
Since living in Los Angeles, Claire has written music for theater productions (including the Actors Co-op in Hollywood), short and feature length films (including two recipients of the UCLA Directors Spotlight Award), and even a ballet. No Depression called Time in the Middle “one of 2015’s finest albums” and her powdercoat ep with Kristin Mooney won the 2014 MIAL “Best in Popular Music” (she’s released twelve records to date).
Her latest, Every Hour, features modern arrangements of hymns and sacred songs, ranging in style from a 4th century carol to southern gospel and a Beach Boys cover. She is currently working with the students of Westmark School writing and directing music for their February 2023 production of Alice in Wonderland directed by Margot Fitzsimmons
